About this audiobook

Paranormal Romance — slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads. Fated-mates paranormal romance. Small-town secrets. The enemy who claimed her heart. A Sun Court healer must marry the Night Court spymaster she despises to save her brother from a wasting curse, only to discover his sister is her court’s prisoner—and the only cure lies in a bond neither of them trusts. Alara Voss has spent her life in the golden light of the Sun Court, healing wounds and hiding the truth that could destroy her: her brother, Kael, is dying from a curse that no Sun mage can break. When the Night Court spymaster, Darian Ashvale—the cold, ruthless shadow who once betrayed her family—arrives with an offer, Alara knows it’s a trap. But the price of refusing is Kael’s life. The marriage is a political sham, a treaty sealed with a ring she never wanted. Yet as she steps into the Night Court’s shadow-draped halls, she discovers the true cost: Darian’s sister, Lyra, is chained in the Sun Court’s dungeons, the key to the cure buried in a bond that binds their souls together. Now Alara faces an impossible choice: break the fated-mates bond before it consumes her—and let Kael die—or trust the man who has every reason to destroy her. But Darian’s secrets run deeper than the shadows he commands, and the bond that ties them is older than either court remembers. As a forbidden power awakens within her, Alara realizes the curse isn’t just killing her brother—it’s unraveling the fragile peace between the courts. And the only way to save him might be to surrender to the enemy she swore to hate. Tropes: fated mates, marriage of convenience, enemies to lovers, only one bed, morally gray hero, hidden identity, court intrigue, forced proximity, slow burn with a payoff that burns. Book one of The Fractured Courts series. If you love Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, or Kresley Cole, prepare to fall into a world of shadow and light where betrayal is the only currency and love is the deadliest weapon.
