Shadows of Souls (Forbidden Bonds)

A phantom princess. A monster king. An arranged marriage that will ruin an empire.

Nahomie possesses fire that can unmake worlds—a gift that marks her for death. The empyrean’s holy order wants to execute her. And Fallen Angels want to consume her. Her only sanctuary lies in the ruins of a cursed castle, with a monster king banished into exile.

Tassarion was captured by Fallen Angels, broken and remade into a fearsome monstrosity. Exiled and alone, he has one path to a bond with a mate powerful enough to break his curse. So when Nahomie arrives—with a fiery attitude and forbidden magic—he offers her protection. For a price. She must become his bride.

In a castle where spirits whisper and shadows breathe, something ancient in the ruins begins to stir. And when their enemies inevitably come for them both, the phantom and her monster will discover what the empire tried hiding beneath bones and they’re not abominations after all—they’re the empire’s undoing.
