The Blood and The Bone

In a world fractured by a thousand-year war, Lyra of the Dawn is an elite monster hunter trained to believe that anything from the Umbra Wilds is a soulless abomination. When she is sent to track a rogue Storm-Drake into the heart of the mist, she is captured by Kaelen the Soul-Eater-the legendary and lethally beautiful General of the Night-Walkers.

To survive an ambush by psychic horrors, Kaelen performs the Blood Bind, an ancient and forbidden ritual that tethered their souls and physical sensations together. As they trek across a landscape of obsidian forests and sacred groves, the forced proximity begins to erode their hatred. Bound by magic but driven by a burgeoning, "juicy" attraction, Lyra and Kaelen must navigate a world that views their union as the ultimate betrayal. From the glamorous, dangerous courts of the City of Glass to a final, desperate stand against their own kingdoms, they discover that the only thing more dangerous than their enemies is the heat between them.
