Bond of Bloodroot: When a dark sacred text is twisted by men, queens and bonded lovers will reclaim the prophecy in blood.

Rescued from the Eligere dungeons and bound in a bloodroot ritual to the dark fae healer who once hunted her, Gabriella should finally be safe. Instead, she carries her worst enemies under her skin: the stolen essences of Valen and Tebethia, the mastermind and the butcher who turned her body into their favorite experiment. Their power whispers in her bones. Their rage claws at her thoughts. And the only thing standing between her and possession is the bond she swore she’d never want.

Sevrin has always been ruthless with a blade and careful with his heart. Now the woman he once dragged to a dungeon is his bonded mate, and every touch is a battlefield between desire, lust, guilt, and the vow he makes in the dark: he will never again let anyone own her—not the Eligere, not the courts, not even the prophecy they’re both tangled in. But when Gabriella chooses to wield the very darkness that broke her, Sevrin has to decide how far he’ll go to stand beside a lover who might burn the realms to get her body back.

High above the bloodroot cliffs, Duchess Alturia of Alturium faces a different cage. Sworn to holy chastity by a “prophecy” written by misogyny, she has built her life on sacrifice… until Mick, the human doctor she loved and lost, walks back into her palace. He brings forbidden longing, a second chance she was never supposed to have—and the truth about a hidden island where stolen children are hunted for sport.

As the First Mother’s true words wake inside the Book men twisted into a weapon, all must decide what kind of saints they’ll be: the kind who polish their chains and uphold a holy lie, or the kind who shatter the “sacred” laws, burn down the false saints, and rewrite the prophecy in their own blood, magic, and desire.

Bond of Bloodroot is a steamy romantasy featuring:

• Enemies-to-lovers bond payoff between a shadow-scarred heroine and her dark fae protector
• Fierce body autonomy after trauma and a heroine who refuses to be anyone’s weapon but her own
• Second-chance, forbidden love between a vow-bound duchess and the human who shattered her heart
• A dark sacred text twisted by men… and the women who reclaim the prophecy

Perfect for fans of ACOTAR-style fae courts, From Blood and Ash-level prophecy tangles, and romantasy where the women don’t just survive the story—they set it on fire and start again.
