The Darkness Saves

He was sent to kill her. 

Fate had other plans. 

Leyla’s life is quiet, safe, and exactly the way she wants it—spent among dusty shelves in her cozy bookstore, mornings warmed by coffee and the comforting scent of old pages. It’s a life that finally makes sense… until the shadows begin to move. Until a stranger crashes into her world and shatters everything she thought she knew. 

Thalon is not human. He is a fae prince that was sent with one purpose: to kill her. Instead, he kisses her. 

That single, breathless moment alters the course of fate itself. Ancient magic is awakening beneath Leyla’s skin, the realms are slowly dying and she is now facing a truth she never imagined would be possible: She is the Bridge of Realms. The only being capable of saving them all. And now, she’ll have to trust the one being who was never meant to love her.
