Bound by ash and moonlight

In the untamed Velithorne Wilds, Nariya Vale has spent her life surviving-trained by her mercenary father to fight and her exiled healer mother to wield the wild magic of the land. She trusts no one, especially not the arrogant, golden-haired stranger who trespasses into her woods.

Prince Cassian Stormvale has always defied fate, but when his search for lost magic leads him to Nariya, he can't ignore the pull between them-or the way she seems tied to the prophecy he's spent his life avoiding.

Their first meeting ends in a fight. Their second, in an uneasy rivalry. But as dark forces rise, they are forced into an unwilling alliance, uncovering secrets that will change the fate of Zephyra-and the truth about the bond neither of them wanted but cannot escape.

Enemies by choice. Bound by destiny. But will their love break the curse-or doom them both?
