Synopsis
Their magic bound their souls together. His trauma threatens to tear them apart.
This is the third book in the Echoes of Aloria Series.
A dying mother. A fractured soul-bond. A prophecy she never asked for.
To the Elven court of Mellyrn, Duchess Malin is a powerful enigma. But to Malin, her volatile fire and hungry, dark siphon magic feel more like a curse. With her mother trapped in a medically induced coma, Malin must journey into the heart of enemy territory to steal the one technological artifact that can save her life.
The catch? The artifact is held by the shadow-wielding warlords of Fellspire, and her relationship with her husband is slowly dying.
Will Hawkson is a lethal fighter, but the torture he endured has left him with devastating PTSD. Desperate to keep his pregnant wife safe, his suffocating control is pushing Malin away and tearing their magical soul-bond apart at the seams. Surrounded by political assassins, undead hordes, and whispers that Malin is the legendary Feniks Talavo, they must learn to trust each other again if they want to survive.
Can their love endure the shadows of their past, or will the weight of her new powers burn them both to ash?
The world of Mordovia grows in this epic, high-stakes fantasy adventure bound in found family, magical fates, and a perilous journey to secure a future where their family can finally be safe.
