A Court of Binding Shadows: An Enemies to Lovers Dark Fae Romantasy of Kidnapped Mates, Ancient Magic, and Unbreakable Bonds (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798197528308)

Six months in the Ashveil Court, and Seren Voss has stopped counting the reasons to leave.

The borders are stable. Her brother is home. The fae lord who bargained her into a political betrothal has told her he loves her, without performance, without management, for the first time in sixty years. She has a cartography room, a half-finished territorial survey, and every reason in the world to stay.

Then she vanishes.

Taken from the Court's southern tree line by agents of the Hollow King, the rival fae lord who has been quietly dismantling Ashveil's territorial claim from the inside, Seren finds herself in an enemy fortress with her journal, her charcoal stick, and no way home.

She does what she always does when the world becomes uncertain. She starts to map.

For Caedric, the moment the mate bond goes silent is the moment sixty years of careful control end. The shadow magic he has spent a lifetime managing answers the bond's absence with a completeness that frightens even his own court. He knows she is alive. He knows she is working. What he does not know is whether he will arrive in time or what he will have to become to get her back.

What neither of them expected was what Seren would find inside those walls. Not just a way out. But the evidence that could end the Hollow King's campaign forever. Buried in stone older than the Veilborn Courts. Written in a signature she recognizes. Ashveil. It was always Asheveil.

Ashveil. It was always Ashveil.

A Court of Binding Shadows is a dark fae romance of separated mates, ancient territorial secrets, shadow magic unleashed, and a love that refuses to be careful any longer. The action escalates, the bond deepens, and the cartographer who once kept one foot out the door finally, permanently, comes home.

Best read after A Court of Stolen Vows.
