SHE SWORE SHE'D NEVER TRUST THE ASSASSIN.
HE NEVER PLANNED TO FALL FOR THE PRINCESS.
Forced to travel with the infamous Blackblade, Aslyn knows better than to trust the man who may have played a role in her family's downfall. Grief sharpens her anger, suspicion hardens her resolve. But as his past is dragged into the light, hatred begins to fracture. Falling for him was never an option... until loyalty, sacrifice, and forbidden longing blur the line between enemy and protector.
Blackblade survives by secrets and steel, yet Aslyn dismantles him piece by piece. Drawn to her defiance and wounded strength, he risks everything to earn her trust, knowing she will either claim his heart or destroy it.
Aethan wakes in chains with no memory of his past or his name, enslaved in a distant land where his language is foreign and prophecy names him as something dangerous and divine. As he fights for freedom, justice, and a past he can't recall, a new danger stirs-and with it, a darkness that threatens them all.
As darkness gathers, three fates race toward a reckoning that could reshape empires-or doom them all.
Perfect for fans of epic fantasy romance, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers, forbidden magic, ancient prophecy, and multi-POV stories where love is as perilous as power.
