CROSSED DESTINIES: THE CHOICE OF LOVE
She was born behind walls of silver and lies. He was raised in the ashes those walls left burning.
Isadora Veyrant has never made a single choice that was truly hers, neither her name, her fortune, nor the marriage that will unite two ruling houses and secure her family's grip on a city built on other people's ruin.
On the night of her engagement ball, a raid tears through the glittering ballroom, and one desperate, instinctive touch changes everything: a mark ignites across her wrist, silver and undeniable, binding her, by magic older than her bloodline, to the one man in the world she was taught to fear.
Kael Ashmoor has spent his life turning grief into purpose, leading a resistance born from a massacre that stole his mother and his home. He has exactly one rule: never let House Veyrant take anything else from him. Then the old magic marks him for its heir, and suddenly the girl he should hate is the only thing keeping the fire in his blood from burning him alive.
Fate doesn't ask permission and doesn't care about crowns, old grudges, nor the war two generations deep between their worlds. It only guarantees one thing: they cannot walk away from each other and survive it.
But surviving was never the hard part. Choosing each other, in front of a city built to keep them apart, that's the part that will cost them everything. The bond was never a promise. It was only ever a choice.
