Bonds of Fate (en Inglés) - Millie Goodwin

"Soul-Binding. Just the name is a blade pressed to the throat. It diminishes boundaries, erases the walls you build around yourself, and drags you screaming into someone else's soul."

Twenty-three-year-old Elysia Morningstar, a High Mage of Celestria, is condemned to an impossible choice-bind or die.

To save her kingdom from the spreading plague and the border war, Elysia is forced into an irreversible soulbond with Kaden Reinheart, an enigmatic warrior mage. Feared for his brutality and marked by scars earned on the front lines, Kaden is a living weapon, and now the other half of her soul.

Bound in magic, mind, and soul, they are sent to the Concordium, a soul binding academy where pairs are trained to wield their shared power and sharpened for war. Bonds are tested, limits are broken, and weakness is a death sentence.

Every lesson drags Elysia and Kaden deeper into each other's thoughts, emotions and desires, leaving no room for lies... or resistance.

As shadows stir and Elysia fights to find the source of the plague, she finds herself and Kaden at the heart of a conspiracy that threatens to tear Celestria apart from within.

Together, they may be Celestria's last hope.

Or the force that brings it to ruin.

A war torn kingdom. A fated bond. Survival is the only option.
