When a mortal escape artist gets stranded in the wilderness with a half-basilisk fae mercenary, she discovers he's her fated mate—and that a single glance from him could kill her unless they bond repeatedly to survive. He's arrogant, reluctant to claim a human soulmate, and absolutely lethal, but as they're forced to rely on each other to stay alive, she finds herself drawn to the passionate, playful side he only reveals to her. Together they navigate deadly court politics, kingdom-threatening magic, and their own tangled pasts, all while an enemy king hunts them relentlessly. It's a swoon-worthy enemies-to-lovers journey where two broken people discover that sometimes your greatest danger is also your greatest love.
