The empire calls Elowen Vale a Thornwitch, a border rebel, a dangerous woman best handled with shackles. She's survived every label they've given her. She doesn't intend to stop.
Then she's seized and forced into the Crown Rite alongside Prince Caelan Draven — and the bond activates for the first time in four centuries.
Now every emotion she hides, he feels. Every fear he carries, she knows. The ancient magic doesn't care that they're enemies. It doesn't care that her people have been dying under imperial law for generations. It doesn't care that trusting a prince is the most dangerous thing a border woman can do.
Caelan has his own problem. His Chancellor is corrupt, the ward network is being weaponized, and the only way to stop the man who made him into a prince is to break the system he was raised to protect. The bond between him and Elowen might be the key. It might also be the thing that ends them both.
Enemies. Allies. Something neither of them has words for yet.
The Crown doesn't care what they call it. It only cares that they choose.

I was supposed to fear dragons, not fall for a dragon-shifter.
I was stuck in a bad trade deal with the cursebringer when Alaric rescued me. But he wasn’t just a hard bodied shifter, his integrity won me over.
He showed me how the cursebringer was draining the dragons of their magic. It turned out that I held the key to saving them in my necklace.
Unlike the cursbringer, who wanted me only for my power. Alaric saw me for who I really am, the guardian of the dragons.
Could a human and a dragon-shifter be together?
My body ached for his touch, but our time together was short lived. The cursebringer found me.
Alaric and I were at a crossroad. My life and the fate of the dragons were on the line. Being together seemed impossible. Not being together would destroy them all.

Thatcher
I’m human; mostly. Cyborg enhanced, hardened, and haunted by nightmares of torture and betrayal. I don’t deserve soft things. I definitely don’t deserve Ysa with her long blue braid and stubborn heart.
So I do the only thing I’m good at, I protect her. From rogue gladiators. From flirtatious mercenaries. From whatever is creeping through our ship’s systems.
I can’t have her, but no one else can either. Whatever is hunting her in the dark? It’s about to discover I was made for war.

My touch is death. Everything turns to ash beneath my fingers. Everything... except my colossus.
Born of a dead mother and a necromancer’s spell, I am a walking plague. One brush of my skin withers flowers, rots flesh, and stops hearts. I am a weapon, used by a tyrant to find the mythical Golden Fleece.
And then I meet him. Aion. The Colossus.
A metallic monster of living bronze, fueled by death energy. He reaches to shatter my chains, and I wait for him to die. But he doesn't wither. He doesn't turn to dust. For the first time, a man touches me... and lives.
Now, to stay with him, I must enter the bride market.
This silent giant, a creature without a heartbeat, is the only one who can survive my curse. In his arms, I’m not a blight to be caged. I am a woman to be desired. He is the only one I can ever choose.
But the tyrant I betrayed will burn this world to reclaim his weapon. And in a city where my curse can't harm the man I desire, I might still be the one thing that destroys us all.

Happy reading!
