Nightbound by Gabrielle Keeton — book slip

Maris, an orphaned mortal in the dying kingdom of Eryndor, is thrust into a world of monsters and gods when a violent king, Kael, takes her into his war-torn court.

Beneath Kael's silver eyes and cruel power lies a darker desire that Maris cannot resist.

As ancient prophecies awaken, she becomes the focus of a forgotten goddess, entangled between two kings: Kael, the shadow-wrought ruler who seeks to claim her for his throne, and Alarik, the faelight-gifted rival ruler who haunts her dreams with fire and mercy.

Maris is not a chosen savior; she is the Veil Breaker. When gods fall, queens must rise. Torn between desire and destiny, Maris must decide what she is willing to sacrifice: her soul, her heart, or the world itself.
