The Void That Cuts: Book 1 of the Leyborn Series

By Natalie Bekker

ONE STOLEN SHARD. ONE CURSED THIEF. ONE KINGDOM ON THE EDGE OF RUIN.

Novalyn is the most feared thief in Hessen.
Forced to serve the criminal guild that holds her brother captive, she survives by stealing impossible things and hiding the truth about her forbidden magic. Every time she draws power from the kingdom's ley-lines, she loses a piece of her memory, and she is running out of things she can afford to forget.
Then she is given an impossible assignment: steal a legendary Voidshard from the royal vault.
The relic is said to be older than kingdoms, older than war, and powerful enough to reshape the world itself. But when the heist goes catastrophically wrong, Nova comes face-to-face with the last man she ever wanted to meet: Prince Sirius of Hessen, but he's known to her as the cold, ruthless Captain of the Kingsguard who caught her. And he also happens to be the only person whose magic can touch hers without destroying them both.
As ancient secrets awaken beneath the kingdom and a forgotten prophecy begins to unfold, Nova and Sirius are forced into a fragile alliance. Hunted by enemies on every side, they must decide whether to trust each other or watch their world as they know it burn.
But the closer they become, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
Because some relics were never meant to be found, some powers were never meant to be wielded, and some bonds were never meant to survive betrayal.

Perfect for readers who love enemies-to-lovers romance, morally grey characters, deadly magic, found family, ancient prophecies, and epic fantasy filled with secrets, betrayal, and impossible choices.
