The Thornbound Saga

Lyrix Vireya has spent twenty-one years as a weapon. Raised by the Order of the Chain, she has completed over two hundred contracts without a single failure. No attachments. No hesitation. No room for anything as dangerous as wanting.

When the Order assigns her the most valuable contract in a generation, she and her partner Jalen cross ten brutal days of mountain passes and frozen wilderness toward Caer Luthar, where the warlord Kael Thorne waits to die.

But the moment Lyrix sees him, the mark she's carried since childhood burns to life for the first time.

Kael Thorne is a conqueror. A general. A man who rules through strength and refuses to play by anyone's rules. He should be nothing more than a target. Instead, his touch unlocks visions of lives they've lived before, bound by something older than empires.

They are Thornbound. And the Flame Circle will burn the world to claim what they carry.

She was trained to want nothing. He makes her want everything.
