THE VAELMOOR BARGAIN

A deadly bargain. A forbidden mate. A dark court that will stop at nothing to keep its secrets. Mara Ashwood’s quiet life as an antiquarian book restorer is shattered when a stranger arrives to collect a twenty-six-year-old blood debt. Ripped from the human world, she is thrust into the treacherous Vaelmoor Court—a hidden valley besieged by the "Hollowing," a supernatural darkness that devours the mind. Trapped by ancient law, her only protection is a man who is legally forbidden to claim her. Kieran Vaelmoor is the Court’s burdened Alpha-heir, holding his failing pack together by a thread. Bound by duty to act as Mara's Warden, he is entirely unprepared for the shock of recognition the moment their eyes meet. A fierce, undeniable mate-bond ignites between them—a connection strictly outlawed by a thirty-year-old doctrine demanding pure bloodlines to keep the valley's wards intact. To choose her is to risk his people’s survival. To walk away is to lose his soul. As Mara unearths a rare, untrained magic capable of anchoring shattered minds against the Hollow, time runs out. Kieran is being forced into a political marriage to save the Court. They have just three weeks to unravel a web of institutional lies and unearth a buried truth. If they fail, the valley will fall—and they will be torn apart forever.
