Godbound Hearts: A dark gay MM fantasy romance of cursed gods, godshards, enemies to lovers, and fated vows.

A dark war-god wakes in his chest.
The only man who can steady him… is the enemy who destroyed his squad.

When loyal temple soldier Kade is chosen to guard the godshard vault, he expects a long, hard night.
Instead, the vault explodes, his men die screaming, and a shattered war-god forces itself into his bones.

Now he wakes bound to an altar, glowing with forbidden power, surrounded by priests who want to turn him into a holy weapon… and a condemned sorcerer who can quiet the god’s rage with a single touch.

Aric was raised to break gods, not serve them. His forbidden magic was built to anchor godshards and keep hosts alive. The last time he tried, his host died and the temple branded him a traitor. When Kade’s war-god chooses Aric as its “anchor,” the priests see a perfect weapon.

Chained collar-to-collar, wrist-to-wrist, marched toward the capital for “testing,” Kade and Aric are forced into a bond that feels too much like fate. The war-god inside Kade wants blood and worship. The temple wants a controllable war-king.

Kade only wants his own mind back.
Aric only wants to keep this host alive… and not fall in love with him.

When they uncover execution orders with both their names on them, one thing becomes
If they don’t escape, the temple will use them and then erase them.
