Eclipsed Hearts : When Moonlight Meets Sunfire, The Sky Breaks In Two
"You're supposed to burn. Instead, you're binding."
Vera has spent her entire life hiding. The silver light flowing through her veins isn't just rare. It's illegal. In a kingdom that executes anyone touched by moon magic, she learned early that survival means invisibility. She bound her powers in iron chains she forged herself. She became ordinary. Forgettable. Safe.
Then the sun prince's soldiers came to her village.
They burned it looking for contraband. Vera was captured in the chaos, dragged before Prince Rowan for interrogation. She expected execution. She'd heard the stories. The sun prince was ice and cruelty in human form. Cold as the steel that decorated his throne room. A man who burned lunar magic users alive in the temple square.
Instead, when she stood before him, something impossible happened.
His solar power and her lunar magic didn't cancel each other. They collided violently, creating something neither of them understood. Light and darkness tangled together in the air between them. Every guard in the throne room felt it. The walls heated. Shadows deepened. The sky outside flickered between day and night.
Rowan felt it most of all.
The connection was instant and consuming. Not romantic at first, but violent and desperate. A soulbond that grabbed both their hearts and forced them to feel each other's fear, anger, and the shocking, terrifying truth. Rowan had been waiting his entire life for someone who could balance the weight of the sun crown. Vera had been running from a life where being herself meant death.
