Ashbond

He was built to erase magic. She was born to wield it. Together, they could ignite a war—or something far more dangerous.

After a brutal war between spellcasters and machines, the Dominion rules with code and steel. Magic is forbidden. Spellborn are hunted. Enforcers, merciless cyborgs, make sure of it.

Ciliana is one of the last healers surviving in the ruins and ashes. She knows better than to show mercy. Until she finds a broken Enforcer in the dirt. Against all reason, she saves him, unwittingly forming a bond.

Calix was designed to destroy her kind, but now he's protecting her, bound by a command buried deep in his code. As they flee across the wastelands, hunted by enemies on all sides, his memories begin to resurface. A battlefield. A girl. A purpose that no longer makes sense.
