COREBOUND

The world ended once
and rose again divided.
After a catastrophic event known as the Fracture, humanity rebuilt itself around four powerful bloodlines. Each house commands a force that reshaped the world: shadow, flame, life, and reality itself. Together, they rule what remains.
Born into House Sylvae, the Verdant rulers of life and healing, Eirene Sylvae should have inherited greatness.
Instead, she was born without power.
As the only powerless heir among the ruling houses, Eirene is seen as a mistake, unfit to rule, unworthy to lead, and dangerous to protect. While her father insists she is his successor, the world watches for her failure.
When the four heirs are brought together under fragile alliances, Eirene discovers something impossible: the powers that define their world do not work on her.
And worse, she can silence them.
As secrets surrounding the Fracture resurface, Eirene becomes bound to the Core, the source of all power, awakening abilities that could save the world, or destroy it entirely. Caught between political betrayal, forbidden love with the shadowed heir Kael Umbros, and a destiny she never asked for, Eirene must decide what kind of ruler she will be.
Because the greatest threat to the world is no longer power.
It is the one person who stands beyond it.
