Runebreaker: A Fantasy Romance

Aelie possesses the rare ability to break runes with her bare hands—magic fundamental to the fae world. When discovered, she is sentenced to death. To survive, she shatters the rune enslaving Kairos, a fae executioner with a violent past. Kairos responds by destroying the court and taking Aelie to his realm, a kingdom of forests and mists. Now bound to the ruthless king she freed, Aelie must contend with dangerous fae politics, develop her forbidden power, and navigate her complicated relationship with Kairos, who views her as both his greatest weapon and his darkest obsession. This is the first book in a trilogy. It contains forced proximity, captive/captor dynamics, a morally gray hero, and mating bond elements.
