Embers of Desire

By Kimberly Kogut

Raised beneath ancient canopies and sacred law, Jubilee, princess of the Forest Fae, has spent her life believing in the beauty of tradition and the harmony of the realm. Gifted with a rare, living magic that binds her to the world around her, she is revered-and controlled-by the expectations placed upon her. Sheltered, obedient, and dangerously romantic about what it means to be fae, Jubilee has never questioned her role... until the shadows begin to move.

Slash was born to rule-or destroy. A noble of the Shadow Fae, forged in grief and sharpened by dark magic, he has spent his life mastering power and burying the memory of the sibling stolen from him during a brutal clash with the Forest Fae. Charming, lethal, and unapologetically dangerous, Slash wears his reputation like armor. Hatred has always been easy. Mercy has not.
Until Jubilee.

Forced into proximity by rising tensions between rival courts, their encounters crackle with rivalry, sharp tongues, and forbidden heat. But beneath the insults and blade-edged attraction lies something far more dangerous: a secret fated bond neither of them was meant to discover. As Slash begins to see Jubilee not as a symbol of his pain-but as his equal-he draws her into a darker truth about her magic, her power, and herself.

With ancient grudges resurfacing and war looming between forest and shadow, Jubilee must decide whether to cling to the traditions that shaped her-or embrace the devastating power awakening within her. And Slash must choose between vengeance and the one thing he never believed he deserved.

Because loving your enemy is reckless.
Loving your fated mate could burn the world to ash.
