The Ink Sovereign. Where Blood is Law and Love is Heresy (en Inglés) - Maren Cole

He rules a dying world with blood and shadow. I'm the only one who can unmake him.

I map the edges of a kingdom that's falling apart.

One ink-stained line at a time.

But when my brother signs away his soul to the Shadow King, I have two choices.

Let him be consumed.

Or walk into the fortress of the most dangerous man alive and steal him back.

Caelum doesn't execute me when he finds me in his vault.

He makes me an offer I can't refuse.

A captive's bargain. His world for my power.

The problem isn't the contract he forced me to sign.

It isn't the court of vipers waiting for me to fail.

It isn't even the mating bond that snapped into place the moment he touched me.

The problem is I'm starting to think he didn't write it.

Standalone dark romantasy. Enemies to lovers. Captive x captor.
