The Heir of Elderath: Heir of Light

She is everything he was sent to destroy.

When Helena’s magic awakens without warning, it does something impossible — it binds her soul to a stranger’s. A dangerous stranger. The son of the man who murdered her parents and hunted her bloodline to near extinction.

Draven Thornhill doesn’t know the girl tethered to him by fate is the last Silveri heir. He only knows she is his bond mate, that her life is now tangled with his own, and that something in the darkness has already found her trail.

As Helena runs and Draven hunts, the bond between them refuses to be ignored — pulling them together even as the truth threatens to tear them apart. He was sent to destroy the Silveri line. She was born to restore it.

And the bond doesn’t care about either of those things.

In the realm of Elderath, magic runs through bloodlines and covens rule absolutely. The Silveri were once the most powerful coven in history, protectors of the realm, keepers of the light. Then the Thornhills seized the throne, murdered the Silveri rulers, and spent almost twenty years hunting their coven into extinction.

They missed one.
And when her binding breaks, and her magic is freed, everything changes.

Some bonds are forged by fate. Some are tested by blood. Heir of Light is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romantasy about a fated bond, an impossible loyalty, and two people who were never meant to survive each other.
