Last Light

For centuries, the Four Realms have stood divided.

Bound by elemental magic and ruled by powerful bloodlines, their future has always rested on one sacred tradition: on the twentieth birthday of every royal heir, fate reveals their chosen mate.

One soul.

One bond.

One destiny.

But when the heirs of the Four Realms come of age, fate remains silent. Time passes, yet no mate arrives. And the ancient prophecy spoken at each of their births begins to feel less like a promise and more like a warning.

When a bloodied soldier falls through a portal in the middle of a royal court, the impossible becomes reality. Dragged from a realm long believed lost to history, she is everything they never expected.

Defiant. Dangerous. Unbroken.

And she wants nothing to do with them. While the heirs were raised in palaces and prepared for power, she grew up in a world ravaged by war-a forgotten realm abandoned centuries ago and left to fight monsters, invaders, and impossible odds alone.

Now fate claims she belongs to the four men whose kingdoms she blames for her people's suffering.
The last thing she wants is a mate bond.

Especially four of them.

Forced to attend the prestigious academy where the next generation of rulers are trained, she finds herself trapped among royal heirs, political schemes, ancient rivalries, and powers unlike anything she has ever seen. But the greatest threat isn't the bond between them.

It's the secrets buried beneath their history.

Because the forgotten realm was never powerless.

It was hidden.

And someone has been opening the gates between worlds. As attacks increase and long-buried truths begin to surface, the heirs and their fated mate must decide who to trust before a centuries-old conspiracy tears the realms apart. For if the prophecy is true, she may be the key to saving their world.

Or the spark that burns it all to the ground.
