He came looking for a weapon to win a thousand-year war. He found a fire that would burn his world to ash.
Lyra believes in two things: the pragmatism of her healer's blade and the cold, hard mud of her village. She does not believe in the Fae. But when a moment of desperate rage sparks an impossible, indigo flower into existence, the myths she ignored kick down her door.
Riven is the High Prince of the Umbra Court, a creature of starlight and obsidian armor. He is cold, cruel, and desperate. His kingdom is dying, choked by the tyranny of the Solaris King's corrupt light. He needs a counter-weapon, and he finds it in the terrified, defiant mortal with a sun sleeping in her blood.
Dragged into a world of eternal night, Lyra is branded an asset. A tool. Riven intends to forge her wild magic into a blade to slaughter his enemies. He locks her in a gilded cage and trains her with shadows that bruise the soul.
But the fire inside Lyra isn't just magic. It is the Ember-the lost legacy of a court erased from history. And it does not want to be controlled.
As the Solaris legions march and the mountain shakes, the line between prisoner and partner blurs. Riven is a monster fueled by ancient grief, but he is the only thing standing between Lyra and an apocalypse of holy fire. And when a forbidden magical bond snaps into place between them-tying her warmth to his freezing void-Lyra realizes the terrifying truth.
He didn't just capture a weapon. He captured the only thing that can unmake him.
She will not forgive him. She will not bow. But if they are to survive the dawn, she might just have to burn for him.
Bound by Nightfire is a high-stakes, enemies-to-lovers Dark Fantasy Romance. It features a ruthless Shadow Daddy, a heroine who refuses to break, and a love story forged in the fires of war. Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and The Serpent and the Wings of Night.
