An immortal bound in darkness. A shattered empire at war. And a blacksmith whose heart could tip the scales of fate.When young blacksmith Cahra is commissioned to forge a sword, she uses her imagination to design a symbol. But this symbol invokes an age-old prophecy and awakens Hael an immortal with the power to shape or shatter worlds sealed away in a chamber deep in Haelstromia, the lost capital at the heart of a civil war between three kingdoms. Now hunted for the sword, Cahra must flee with the very stranger who commissioned it. But what does she truly know about the handsome and charming noble, Terryl? On the run through the darkly magical Wilds, she is drawn ever closer to Hael, who visits and beguiles her in dreams. With tyrant kings vying to capture Hael and wield him as a weapon, she alone stands between Hael and their deadly ambitions. Will Cahra risk everything to free him in time to save the empire? A sizzling, action-packed romantasy, perfect for fans of The North Wind, Throne of Glass and The Book of Azrael. 💪(Physically) strong female lead 🔺Love triangle 🐢Slow burn 🖤 Forbidden love 😈 Hades x Persephone 😡 Who hurt you? 💘 Fated mates Age gap (just a couple hundred years...)
