Together they’ll restore a broken kingdom or burn it to the ground . . .
In a kingdom at war, Lyra Bien intends to live a quiet life to avoid the attention of the magic-obsessed King Damir.
Until Roark Ashwood, the monarch’s silent but irresistibly handsome soldier, invades her village and uncovers Lyra’s secret.
That she is a melder . . .
Gifted in the three magical crafts – bone, blood, and soul – a melder is highly sought after. But there is a price: their magic is also the seed of their destruction.
Forced to reveal her ability, Lyra is immediately claimed by Roark for the king, to be his next melder. Now the captive of this brooding soldier, she must find a way to escape. But could Roark himself be the key to her freedom?
What neither of them realizes, is that a dangerous truth lies beneath everything.
Together they will have to choose to stand against all they know – or face a darker destiny . . .
