A forbidden desire. A reluctant bond. A choice that will change everything.
Arayni Velasa never intended to give in to temptation. As a fae noble, she was raised to believe her kind were above creatures like him-beasts of raw strength and untamed power. But one reckless afternoon beneath the golden canopy of the forest, she
made a mistake
. A moment of desperate passion in the arms of a minotaur warrior. A moment she
swore would never happen again
.
But fate is not so easily denied.
Anailes Rylvar never expected to
touch her, let alone crave her again
. The fae were proud, untouchable-never meant for beasts like him. Yet when an ancient curse is unleashed upon the land, when runes of long-forgotten magic bind their fates together, he knows one thing with certainty.
She is his.
Arayni refuses to be claimed. Anailes refuses to let her go. But when the darkness lurking beneath the surface threatens to consume them all,
the only way to stop it is to surrender to the bond neither of them wanted.
And when the fae court casts her out, calling her tainted, Arayni must make an impossible choice-
return to the world that betrayed her or embrace the beast who would burn the world down for her.
