She was never destined to awaken... like this.

He was never fated to leave... like this.

But blood remembers what time tried to erase.

Bound by shadows. Marked by magic. Chosen by blood.

Runa lives in darkness-shadow bound, her memories fractured and submerged, the echoes of another life pulsing beneath her skin. She was never meant to awaken-yet when strange markings blaze across her forearm and shards of a forgotten past erupt to the surface, a long-dormant power begins to stir.

To reclaim her freedom, she must survive what was buried. To survive, she must remember who she once was. And to love, she must face what still blinds her.

On the other side of the veil, an elite soldier walks through hell. Izayah-eternally her twin flame, now her tether to a truth too raw to remain hidden-moves with quiet fury into a war few dare name. He gave his life for hers once. Now he fights in the shadows for something far more dangerous: a second chance.

A resistance brews beneath collapsing kingdoms, sparked by blood-written truths unearthed by a Elite warrior and a seer who dared to speak them aloud. Secrets rise. A silent war churns. And the unbinding has already begun.

A spellbinding romantasy of buried memories, impossible love, and the power that lives in truth.

Her past was obscured.

His sacrifice made sure of it.

Now the truth is rising-and the fate of kingdoms will answer to it, because everything built on silence must face the fire.
