Elowen has one argument — built over months of case law and burning candles — to convince every court in the realm that the ancient law sentencing her to die for a sealed bond is wrong. All five courts.
Levin stands beside her, about to learn the vote isn't just about her life. It's about his — twenty-four years of silence he was never meant to question.
Dual POV, dark fae romance with political stakes, forbidden bonds, and an explicit slow burn. Someone in that courtroom needs the vote to fail — and has the reach to make sure it does.
Book 2 of the Thornhaven Trilogy (Courts of Chaos). For readers of Sarah J. Maas and Raven Kennedy.
Intense, frequent, explicit sex scenes; on-page violence including a killing; parental death referenced in backstory; identity crisis and sudden identity reveal; grief and loss; threat of execution; power imbalance dynamics

🔥🔥🔥.5
This is Book 2 in the Thornhaven Trilogy, and I recommend reading Book 1 first as this is a direct continuation of that story.
Elowen, now queen, has to stand trial with Levin at her side against an ancient law that warrants her death because of the completed bond …
As with book 1, this was an elegantly written masterpiece. There's almost a cinematographic quality to the author's style. Loved it!
