FATED

She needed a weapon. He was the deadliest one alive.

Reyna, heir to the sunken throne of Azarthis, would bleed for her kingdom. But when ancient secrets reveal her people's extinction is imminent, she does the unthinkable: she breaches the surface to seek an ally in the world that drowned her ancestors.

She stumbles across an advanced civilisation-one that sees her as a specimen to study, a prisoner to exploit. Until he steps in.

They call him Hades. Ruthless and cold-blooded, rumour has it he's never lost a war.

One glimpse of Reyna, proud, alien, bound in chains-unlocks something feral in him. She tells herself she wants the god-like power crackling beneath his skin, the kind that could save Azarthis. She tells herself his green eyes, his sharp smile, the way he moves like a blade-none of it matters.

But fate has other plans.

As war ignites and Reyna's magic flares in his presence, she faces an impossible choice: use his power to save her kingdom... even if it kills him? Or surrender to the bond burning between them, betraying the soulmate she's never stopped waiting for?

They never meant to fall in love. But some bonds can't be broken. And some secrets, once kept, can destroy everything.
