In the mountain stronghold of the Order of Arelian, warriors and mages are bound together by divine decree — their souls intertwined to preserve balance in the world.
Vela, last of the Seraphelle, carries the scars of a massacre that stole her family and faith. Tenzin, a devoted Leonin guardian raised within the Order, has spent his life waiting for the partner destiny promised him.
When a divine bond awakens between them, it should be a blessing — but for Vela, it’s a nightmare. The man she is tied to bears the face of her family’s killers, and Tenzin must now carry the weight of her hatred as much as her power.
As prophecy and prejudice collide, two souls must learn whether fate is a gift of the gods or their cruelest punishment.
