When the Shadows Bound Fate (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798348398941)

I was born of spring, but I am destined for darkness.

My mother, a goddess of balance against the Morai, is dead, and my world shattered with her. Now, the ancient, sadistic Morai have swooped in, sealing my fate: a political marriage to the Fae Thrundul Gods, and I'm prize to be controlled. Only the strange and calculating Dhallios, the God of Tricks, is permitted to court me. But with every silver-tongued whisper, I grow less certain if he is a savior or jailer.

I was sent to the Pantheon to be secured, yet the Lord God himself delivered me straight into the path of eternal night.

He is The Butcher in Black, the enigmatic Lord Death himself. Gaelyn-possessive, powerful, and utterly forbidden. My heart, and my own dark needs, belong only to him and his realms. The Thrundul warned his shadows would break me; they were wrong. They woke me up and showed me Gaelyn. Our immediate, undeniable bond burns with every stolen moment we share.

To survive the gods' game, our secret affair must remain hidden. Discovery means not just death, but being ripped from each other, our fates rewritten apart. Together, we are an undeniable, forbidden force. With every stolen moment together, we risk igniting a war against the gods themselves. But sometimes war comes to those who fight to control their own choices.

We have to choose: Surrender to destiny, or burn it down and remake our own.
