She came to marry the king… but fell for his best friend.In a world where immortals live among mortals, rule kingdoms, and wield all kinds of magic, Telepath Princess Marta is destined to marry King Gabriel—the old and powerful Prime Creator—to secure the Ceremonial Union between the Northern Kingdom and the Evergreen Lands.With war raging at the borders and vampires roaming beyond the fortress walls, the alliance may be the only way to prevent another war.But the arrival of the Enchanters at the Border Fortress—the Telepaths' greatest rivals in the alliance—is no coincidence.Violetta, a breathtaking and arrogant beauty, acts as though the king already belongs to her. And Rafael—the fortress commandant and Gabriel's closest friend—is far more dangerous than he appears.Cunning. Charming. Impossible to read.Rafael promises he will make Marta say no at the wedding. What Marta doesn't know is how far he's willing to go to make it happen.As mysterious attacks threaten her life and ancient magic begins to fade from the Keepers, slowly stealing their immortality, Marta is pulled into a web of deadly secrets, political intrigue, and forbidden desire.Yet no mystery consumes her more than Rafael himself—the man whose thoughts remain closed to her, whose true motives hide behind charm and manipulation. The more he hunts her, the more obsessed he becomes. And the more Marta tries to uncover his secrets… the more impossible it becomes to resist him.Falling for Rafael would be madness. But some rules were made to be broken.Perfect for readers who love:Slow burn romantasyEnemies to loversForbidden love"e;Touch her and die"e;Fast pace and big twistsDangerous immortal courtsMorally grey charactersFated matesTwo books.
