Never Keep

When twenty-one-year-old conscripts from warring elemental nations are sent to the frozen fortress of Never Keep for magical training, our protagonist discovers she's far more than just another Fae recruit—she's a wielder of hearts and corruption in a land desperately searching for answers about the dragons and the lies holding their world together. Surrounded by Reapers, Royals, Werewolves, and Vampires, she finds herself tangled in dangerous alliances with enemies, uncovering secrets that could reshape everything, and falling for a man she absolutely shouldn't want. With every shadow in the Keep hiding a threat and a war brewing that only she might be able to stop, her greatest challenge isn't surviving magical instruction—it's navigating the messy, complicated path between duty and desire. This is dark paranormal romance with serious stakes, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a heroine determined to uncover the truth no matter who tries to stop her.
