He found his mate. She found her enemy.
King Vaelthorn is dedicated to avoiding the one thing that could destroy him: his mate.
A prophecy foretells that the woman destined for him will become his greatest weakness. So Vaelthorn makes certain no one ever touches him.
Then Skyler falls through the veil.
A human searching for her missing brother, Skyler never expected to find herself trapped in the dangerous fae realm—or captured by its ruthless king.
When Vaelthorn discovers his fire cannot harm her, he becomes determined to uncover why. But when he finally touches her skin, he discovers the horrifying truth.
She is his mate.
But humans don't form mating bonds.
To Vaelthorn, she is the woman fate has chosen for him. To Skyler, he is the enemy who has given her every reason to hate him.
Now Vaelthorn must find a way to earn the forgiveness of the one woman he was destined to love.
Because fate may have bound them together…
But it can't make her love him.
