She trespassed into a forbidden Fae realm to find her lost brother. Instead, she found herself magically bound to an ancient, powerful Fae warrior who wanted her dead.

Alina, a determined mortal, never meant to activate the Serpent Stone, nor to be tethered soul-to-soul with Kael, the formidable and lethal Enforcer of Blackwood Keep. He is her captor, a centuries-old Fae enraged by their unbreakable connection—a magical bond that ancient Atherian law decrees can only end in her death or their forced, torturous separation. Yet, the raw power pulsing between them whispers of a different, dangerous truth.

Forced into dangerously close proximity, their initial animosity ignites an undeniable, forbidden desire that threatens to consume them both. Every shared dream across the astral plane, every brutal training session under his exacting gaze, every electrifying accidental touch draws them closer. Their connection, meant to be a curse, morphs into a firestorm of volatile magic and searing passion that could shatter worlds... or reveal a destiny neither could have imagined.

Hunted by a calculating Queen with her own agenda and a cruel, ambitious Fae Lord plotting their magical enslavement, Kael and Alina must defy ancient prophecies and ruthless enemies. Their only hope for survival—and for a future together—lies in embracing the very bond that was meant to destroy them, escaping the treacherous Fae court, and forging their own path against all odds.

Will they succumb to the laws that condemn them, or will the forbidden touch of their fated connection be their ultimate salvation?
