She never wanted to be Bound to him. He never meant to fall. But fate doesn’t ask permission and love doesn’t care who it destroys. Enna had a quiet life. A good man. A marriage built on kindness—steady, safe, and enough. Until she tried horseback archery. Until she met him—and gave in to the pull she couldn’t resist, stealing one reckless kiss. That kiss tears the world open—flinging her into war-torn 14th-century Flanders, altered by the crossings of the Bonded. A realm ruled by prophecy, rebellion, and the man fate has tethered her to. Cyriel is almost two decades older. Lethal. Unyielding. Scarred by war. He needed Enna to cross. Nothing more. Especially not love. But the bond doesn’t care about revenge. And fate plays cruel games—because in flashes, Enna sees the version of herself who stayed. The one who got everything she ever wanted—while she fights a war that was never meant to be hers. Will she defy the fate she never asked for—or surrender to a love that could bring empires to their knees?
