Duty Bound
Bound by duty. Torn by hatred. Will love forge a way?
Elysia Kallendore, a gifted mage, dreams of preserving her family’s magical legacy. Lorand Valecrest, a proud knight, is sworn to the sword and the honor of his house. For centuries, their families have waged a bitter feud, locked in cycles of vengeance and mistrust.
When the monarchy intervenes, forcing Elysia and Lorand into an unwanted betrothal, their worlds collide in a storm of resentment, duty, and impossible stakes. Defy the edict, and both houses face ruin. Comply, and they must put aside generations of hatred to forge a fragile alliance.
As tensions rise and hidden threats emerge, Elysia and Lorand find themselves battling more than each other. In a land poised on the brink of chaos, they must decide: can they find strength in each other, or will the sins of the past doom their futures?
Can love grow where duty and disdain collide? Or will their union destroy them both?
