Kiss Me Before the Kingdom Dies

By Estela Hardy

A kingdom is dying. Its last hope is the enemy sworn to destroy it.

For a thousand years, the magical Heartstone beneath Asterion has kept its rivers flowing, its dragons loyal, and its people safe. Now the crystal is failing-and when its final heartbeat fades, magic will vanish, the land will wither, and the kingdom will collapse within seven days.

Princess Lyra Valen has been raised to believe she alone can save Asterion. But every spell she casts drains the Heartstone faster. As panic spreads and war closes in, Lyra crosses paths with Kael Draven, the feared commander known as the Kingdom Killer. He has spent ten years preparing to conquer her home, yet the truth behind his invasion is darker than either imagined.

Bound together by a prophecy no ruler understands, Lyra and Kael must travel through ruined fortresses, corrupted dragonlands, forbidden archives, and buried memories. Their kingdoms call them enemies. Their bloodlines hide centuries of betrayal. And the closer they become, the faster the Heartstone approaches its end.

The prophecy promises that a freely given kiss between sworn enemies will awaken a new dawn. It does not reveal the price.

To save millions, one of them must surrender freedom, mortality, and the future they might have shared.

Filled with forbidden love, ancient magic, political deception, secrets, and devastating sacrifice, Kiss Me Before the Kingdom Dies is an epic romantasy about choosing love when the world demands war.
