Bound to the Enemy Commander

THE WAR MADE THEM ENEMIES. THE BLOOD-TETHER MAKES ESCAPE IMPOSSIBLE.

Isolde Marrick has waited three years for the chance to kill the commander who conquered her kingdom.

She finally gets close enough to strike.

Instead, she binds their lives together.

Rhydian Strake is the Iron Legion's most feared commander, a ruthless weapon shaped by an empire that values obedience above mercy. Isolde is the rebel queen he was ordered to break.

Now neither of them can survive without the other.

The Blood-Tether links their pain, their senses, and the secrets neither intended to reveal. Too much distance brings agony. Violence between them triggers devastating backlash. And every unwanted touch only deepens a connection that should never have existed.

Trapped together inside the Citadel of Thorns, Isolde refuses to forget that Rhydian is the man who helped take everything from her. Rhydian knows protecting her could cost him his command, his soldiers, and the only life he has ever known.

But hatred becomes harder to hold onto when your enemy's heartbeat lives inside your chest.

And when the High Inquisitor prepares a purification that could destroy Oakhaven, execute its queen, and erase the kingdom's magic forever, Rhydian must decide where his loyalty truly lies.

With the empire that made him.

Or with the woman he was sent to destroy.
