Her Frostbound Assassin

Nine years of training and one contract between Selka Orrin and freedom. Kill the mate whose name is carved into her ribs. She finds Dain Coldwater in a smuggler's cove — oathless heir, last of a dragon line, and her fated mate. She cannot kill him. She cannot leave him. Their bargain is simple: one ritual, one stolen relic, then apart forever. But the Sisterhood does not let its assassins walk away, and every day they spend solving the bond is another day the mate-mark burns deeper. Bound to kill. Bound by fate. Forbidden to love. A slow-burn romantasy for readers who want blades, sigils, and a bond that refuses death.
