They feared the witches. Yet in a kingdom steeped in fae magic and royal deceit, the true threat was the king who destroyed her life with a single command.
Audryn Clair never lived for revenge—until her brother was wrongfully executed. Chosen as one of three women vying for the prince’s hand, she has a month inside the castle to get close enough to bring down the crown from within.
Prince Ryder Sutton needs more than a wife. He needs a weapon. When the mated bond required to inherit the throne proves elusive, he turns to an unlikely source of magic. But some bonds come at a cost and consume everything in their path.
As Audryn draws closer to the prince, she becomes entangled in a dangerous game. Missing jewels, poisoned contenders, and whispers of sabotage turn the courtship into a struggle for crown and heart alike. Secrets unravel. Loyalties fracture. And Audryn must decide which will destroy her first—the vengeance she swore to claim or the prince she was never meant to fall for.
Coming March 6, 2026
Ryder saw Audryn as his weapon. King Grave saw her as salvation. Wanting either could cost her everything.
Torn between two kingdoms, Audryn is traded to the enemy expecting death or worse. Instead, she finds a land on the brink of starvation and a ruler who values her for more than her magic—one who asks for her help without demanding her obedience.
King Grave was supposed to be a half-witch tyrant, the brutal ruler who threatens kingdoms and takes what he wants. But Audryn finds a man who works beside his people and understands what it means to be rejected by the world. As they fight for Kuroden’s future, something fragile and unexpected begins to blossom between them.
They have one month before Ryder returns to claim his “property.” When he arrives with threats and guards, Audryn must choose: complete her mission of vengeance or stay with the man who showed her that love doesn't come with chains.
