Synopsis
Aelie can break runes with her bare hands—magic the fae built their entire world on. They hate her for it. Fear her for it. And when she's caught, they sentence her to die. Desperate to survive, she shatters the rune enslaving Kairos, a devastatingly handsome fae executioner with a blood-soaked past. Big mistake. Kairos slaughters the court and drags Aelie to his breathtaking realm—a kingdom of towering forests and shimmering mists. Bound to the ruthless king she freed, Aelie must navigate deadly fae politics, master her forbidden power, and resist the fae who sees her as his greatest weapon... and darkest obsession. Runebreaker is a steamy, fast-paced romantasy with forced proximity, he-falls-first tension, and captive/captor dynamics perfect for adult fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout and Sarah J. Maas. It features a feral, morally gray hero, a twenty-five-year-old heroine with a dangerous gift, mating bond tension, and immersive world building. This is book #1 of a trilogy.
