BOOK SYNOPSIS
A princess’s arranged marriage to a ruthless enemy general forces her to question everything in this unputdownable stand-alone romantasy with devastating twists, relentless yearning, and a gripping enemies-to-lovers romance. Perfect for fans of Callie Hart, Devney Perry, and Carissa Broadbent...
She was raised to hate him. Now she shares his bed.
Princess Mayah of Tundrayn isn’t allowed to want. Not freedom. Not love. Not even her own future. Instead, she’s spent her life healing others’ pain and swallowing her own. But when her father strikes a fragile alliance with enemy kingdom Arbinj to crush a rising rebellion, she is bartered into a marriage she didn’t choose for a crown she doesn’t want.
She expects a prince. She gets the Dark Commander.
She expects to wed Prince Faramir. Instead, she is handed to his brother - Zevayr, Arbinj’s feared Dark Commander. With a blood-soaked reputation and the ability to wield the very storms that haunt Mayah’s nightmares, Zevayr is everything she’s been raised to fear. Yet as the two traverse rebel-torn lands toward Arbinj’s glittering courts, forced into close nightly proximity for survival, the line between monster and man begins to blur.
As dangerous secrets from Mayah’s past resurface, she begins to question more than just Zevayr’s motivations. Is the true threat the Rebellion, or the two ruthless kings who seem determined to wage war at any cost? When loyalty means perpetuating a war built on deception, the question is not if Mayah will betray, but who: her people, her love, or herself?
This epic stand-alone novel delivers utter emotional devastation through the tropes of irresistible banter, immersive worldbuilding, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, arranged marriage, slow burn, elemental powers, one bed/horse/tent, and warring kingdoms.
