The Binding of Thorn and Star

By Linae Maston

Elara Vance believes she's nobody-

Just an apothecary struggling to survive in the slums of the Iron District-until a cursed Fae prince crashes into her sanctuary and binds their fates with a touch. Valerius Thorne, the exiled High Fae, is a creature of moonlight and sharp edges, bearing a necrotic scar that only Elara's star-blood can soothe. But his relief comes at a terrible price: a magical stasis that traps them together in the ancient forests, where the only path to survival is unlocking the volatile, steamy magic of their shared bodies.

Centuries of conflict between the Ancient Forests and the Sky Courts stand between them, yet in the forced proximity of their exile, hatred ignites into a hunger neither can deny. Valerius is the beautiful monster who represents everything Elara despises-tyranny, magic, and the cruel indifference of the powerful. Elara is the one weakness Valerius cannot afford-a mortal who makes him feel, who makes him want, who makes him vulnerable to the brother who stole his throne.

As the barriers between them crumble, they must decide what is more dangerous: the enemies hunting them down, or the forbidden desire that threatens to consume them both. Can a mortal woman and a Fae prince bridge a divide made of blood and betrayal, or will their union burn the world to ash? **The Binding of Thorn and Star** is a high-heat fantasy romance featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, and a love that defies the stars.
