The chained prince haunting her dreams isn't a nightmare. He's real-and fate won't let either of them go. Fae mage Araya Starwind has survived the New Dominion's brutal rule by keeping her head down and her magic leashed. To stay safe, she binds herself to a powerful human mage-Jaxon Shaw-whose protection comes at a steep and controlling cost. But when the fae male from her dreams turns out to be the missing prince, Araya is drawn into a conflict she never asked for-and a connection she can't escape. Now, she's caught between two impossible choices: obey the laws that keep her caged, or risk everything for a freedom she never believed in. A dark fae romantasy of forbidden magic, twisted loyalties, and slow-burning tension-perfect for fans of ACOTAR and From Blood and Ash. Life with three kids and a dog means things are never quiet-there's always a bit of chaos, a hint of magic, and more than a few half-finished stories fighting for attention. Becca has always gravitated toward the darker side of fantasy-where love isn't safe, fate rarely plays fair, and survival isn't guaranteed.When she's not chasing kids or stepping over the dog, you'll find her tucked away with a good book or scribbling out the next story she can't stop thinking about.
