Book 1 in the Stonegate Series

He was her captor. Now, he might be her only chance at freedom.

Lyra Bien never wanted power — but when her hidden magic is exposed, she’s ripped from her quiet village and forced into the deadly role of the King’s melder. A living weapon. A fate that ends in ruin.

Her only hope lies with the one who captured her: Roark Ashwood. Silent. Dangerous. Bound to the crown but hiding secrets behind storm-gray eyes.

As Lyra and Roark uncover dark truths buried in the heart of Stonegate, their alliance turns into something far more dangerous than rebellion — desire. And if they can't find a way to change their fate, they’ll either restore a shattered kingdom... or go down with it.
