Bound to the Broken Crown (Magebound Courts, #1)

Her mission was simple: seduce the prince, conceive his child, and betray him. Her heart had other plans.

Isca has always been able to feel what others hide—grief, anger, lust. Now that rare gift has made her valuable to the wrong people.

Sent to court under the pretense of diplomacy, she’s given a secret task by the Assembly of Mages: soothe the beast beneath Prince Emrys’ skin, seduce him, and conceive a child the Assembly can weaponize.

Refuse, and her family will pay the price. Obey, and she destroys the only man who has ever made her feel safe.

Because Emrys isn’t the monster they promised her. He’s violent, dangerous, and powerful enough to level mountains. But behind his glowing eyes is a lonely prince fighting not to become the thing everyone believes he is.

Isca finds herself falling for the beast she was never meant to love. A beast that seems determined to keep her. But if Emrys discovers her true mission, there may be nothing left standing when the monster breaks free.

Bound to the Broken Crown is book 1 of the Magebound Courts Trilogy featuring a tormented cursed prince, the empathic mage sent to calm his inner beast, and their slow-burn romance. This book contains spicy content and graphic combat violence, Suitable for readers aged 18+
