I swore I'd never fall for my fated mate... especially not when breaking the bond is the only way to survive. Kade infuriates me. He's my fated mate-my destiny, my doom-and every look from him feels like a flame I can't put out. But when the divine plane cracks open and storms tear through our world, we're forced into an unbreakable proximity that burns hotter than the magic consuming us. One reckless kiss. One vow rewritten. One night where I forget fate and choose him. And suddenly, I see the man beneath the curse: the protector who steadies me, the warrior who shields me, the boy who was never given a choice. He saves me when time collapses. He anchors me when I'm unraveling. He's the one thing I swore I wouldn't risk. But the gods want him dead. And to stop them, I have to sever the bond that's killing us both. Because loving him isn't just forbidden-it could end the world.
