A necromancer. A soldier. A soul bond neither wanted.
Vea doesn't remember who she was before they broke her.

Shattered, remade, and wielded as a weapon by the empire that destroyed everything she loved, she exists for one purpose: death magic in service to masters she despises. Freedom is a fantasy. Hope died long ago. Survival is all that remains.

Riven is the Imperium's perfect soldier — loyal, lethal, and legendary. When he's ordered to capture the empire's most dangerous necromancer, he expects a monster. What he finds is a woman held together by rage and shadows, whose eyes hold secrets that make him question everything he serves.

Then the unthinkable happens.

An ancient curse binds their souls together. Now enemies share every emotion, every sensation, every truth they've fought to hide. Hatred becomes complicated when you can feel someone's deepest wounds. Trust becomes terrifying when they can sense every wall you've built.

Heart of Bone is a dark romantasy featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity through soul bonds, a morally gray heroine, and slow-burn romance that will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros.

Five years apart. New powers awakening. The slow burn finally ignites.

Five years have passed since Vea escaped.

She's built a new life among rebels who see her as a leader, not a weapon. She's learned to control powers that once controlled her. She's almost convinced herself she's moved on from the soldier whose soul still echoes in her chest. Then Riven walks back into her war. He's different now — scarred, haunted, carrying secrets that could destroy everything she's built. The empire wants her dead. The rebellion wants her magic. And the soul bond they've spent five years trying to ignore? It's evolving into something neither of them understands. Forced to work together while forbidden to be close, Vea and Riven must navigate a dangerous game of politics, power, and desire. The twenty-foot rule exists for a reason. Breaking it could shatter the fragile alliance keeping them alive. But some bonds refuse to be contained. Heart of Ash delivers the slow-burn payoff readers have been craving, with found family feels, political intrigue, and enemies-to-lovers tension that finally catches fire. The romance intensifies. The stakes escalate. Nothing will ever be the same.

Their daughter sees seventeen timelines. In only one, her family survives.

The final battle for existence itself.

Aelith was born from impossible love — the daughter of a necromancer and a soldier whose souls were never supposed to intertwine. She inherited her mother's death magic, her father's warrior heart, and a gift neither expected: the ability to see across seventeen branching timelines. In sixteen of them, everyone she loves dies. As cosmic forces converge and reality itself begins to fracture, Aelith must navigate impossible choices while her parents fight a war on multiple fronts. Vea faces the truth of what she's become. Riven confronts the man he used to be. And the found family they've built must decide how much they're willing to sacrifice. This is the end of everything — and the beginning of something new. Heart of Stars concludes The Bone & Breath Trilogy with an epic finale spanning timelines, testing every bond, and proving that choosing to exist is the most powerful magic of all. Bring tissues. Bring wine. Bring your whole heart — this book will claim it and leave you devastated in the best possible way.
