The Encroaching Storm

Magic bound Ciarán and Aisling together, but can it become more than that?

Aisling nearly gave her life in the effort to wake King Ciarán of the Vorai, who’d slept in the darkness of the Dead Wood for thousands of years. However, her actions were repaid with something neither she nor Ciarán wanted. In order to restrain the crushing shadows of his magic and force him to repay the debt he owed, Captain Nevrial, with the help of Queen Taradil of the elves, bound Ciarán and Aisling together, making him perceive her as his mate.

Unfortunately, neither of them have the time to adjust to the new bond between them. They, along with Captain Nevrial and Torval, a vampire, must head south to confront the ice vorai that are invading Vindar. Aisling’s father, Lord Caireall Marbhwold, and her older brother, Duncan, are already facing the threat, and Aisling must rush to bring them aid before it’s too late.

Will they be able to work together and save her family? Will they be able to find out who’s controlling the ice vorai and end the threat to Vindar? Or will they fall into shadow?
