The Ash-Heart Legacy

By Adrian Wilde

He is the ruthless shadow king, and I am his captive. My secret magic is the only thing that can save his dying line, but he'll have to break me to claim it.

I was a simple book restorer, hiding from the shadows of Veridia. He is Lord Kaelen, the last of the Onyx Lords, a morally grey hero ruling a kingdom of ghosts.

When my dormant power flared, he hunted me down and dragged me to his cold, obsidian spire. I am his prisoner, a key to unlock his fading magic.

Our daily 'attunements' are a violation, a forced proximity that ties my soul to his. But this dark enemies to lovers romance is more than a battle for control. It's a dangerous fusion of shadow and echo.

With every touch, I see the man behind the monster, and with every act of defiance, I feel our bond deepening. When rival houses conspire to steal me for themselves, my captor becomes my only protector.
