The Cruelest Binding

She was healer to a kingdom of ash. He was the King it was slowly killing.

Contains dark themes: captivity, coercive control, violence, and explicit content. For adult readers.

Kiss of the Fates

She was his beginning. She will be his end. Everything in between is unforgivable, and they choose it anyway.

Edric Kairos Verr was left on a frozen ridge at four days old and raised by the cougar that found him. He hunts Hollows for coin, sleeps in the open, and has never once walked west. Then a raven drops a queen’s summons at his boots, and the old brand on his heel wakes for the first time in five years.

Jocasta Vexen has worn a silver mask for twenty-seven years. She rules Shadeweave through a plague that eats names, visits a nameless cairn every winter without knowing why, and carries a scar below her collarbone she has never been able to explain. The night the Brand-Breaker crosses her gate, it begins to burn.

The mark on his heel and the mark on her chest were made in the same hour, from the same iron. Neither of them knows it. Something under the ribs of the world does, and it has been waiting a thousand years for the two of them to stand close enough to touch.

Katheryn

She gave him her kingdom, her family, her soul. He gave her a reason to burn the world.

The Withering has taken her mother’s face. Katheryn Vex is the witch-princess of Myrkríki, where the dark eats memory a piece at a time and her father the king spends her magic like coin. No one has ever looked at her as though she were a person. Then a prince of the Sun Kingdom comes to steal the necklace her family has guarded for a thousand years, and he looks at her exactly that way.

She gives him everything. The necklace. The Boundaries. Her brother’s life. She walks out of the only country she has ever known with his hand in hers and nothing behind her worth turning back for.

Surt Solari gives her ten years, two sons, and a wedding announcement with another woman’s name on it. He should have remembered what she was willing to do for him. He is about to learn what she is willing to do to him.

Contains dark themes: violence, captivity, coercive control, dubious consent, and explicit content. For adult readers.

The Needle and the Song

The planet was never sleeping. It was sedated.

Logan was built to keep the city below alive: a precise, obedient weapon with a borrowed memory of a farm he has never seen. But when the planet begins speaking through the Aether, the false calm in his mind begins to fracture.

Beneath the rusted towers of the Consortium, every answer points toward a buried machine, a city built on a living world, and a secret powerful enough to turn memory itself into a weapon.

With Kelvin, Lyra, and Boris at his side, Logan must decide whether to remain the tool he was made to be, or become the voice that wakes the world.
