One woman. Two bondsmen. A castle built on secrets—and a bond that could burn the world down.

After the collapse, royalty isn’t about bloodlines. It’s about who can bond the most warriors—and Samantha is the only known female royal.

Hunted, cornered, and nearly claimed by force, she’s saved by a dragon no one saw coming. But safety is temporary, and survival means making a move before the next lockdown.

Her only chance? Two men she’s not sure she can trust: one, a disgraced mercenary bound to her by fire and instinct; the other, a reclusive strategist whose tower might be the key to escaping the regime’s grip.

What starts as protection quickly ignites into something deeper. But with war looming and traitors within, Samantha must choose her bonds—and her lovers—before the regime does it for her.

Two heat-level editions available: one with on-page intimacy, and one fade-to-black (no explicit scenes).
