ABOUT BOUND IN BLOOD & FIRE (Click on book 2 order)
Promised to a cruel prince, I ran—and took secrets that lit a war. Hiding with Dario Romano, the exiled enforcer I should despise, I watch him kill to keep me breathing and realize I’m done running. The prince wants Dario’s head and my obedience. He can have neither. I’ll fight beside the man with ruin in his past and my future in his hands, and when the smoke clears, I won’t bow. I’ll wear a black crown. Bound in Blood & Fire: Author’s Cut—the definitive, expanded origin of the Black Crown Syndicate.
