The Ashen Veil Covenant

In a kingdom where magic is harvested from human hearts at the moment they fall in love, a royal enforcer who extinguishes illegal bonds is ordered to hunt down a forbidden healer whose touch awakens ancient magic long thought extinct.
When he discovers she is the last living conduit of a power that could end the kingdom’s brutal magic system forever, he must choose between the throne he has sworn to protect and the woman whose love could collapse the empire.
