In the cursed forests of Lirien, Seren Ragnall lives by blood and blade. As a warrior of the rebel Viori, she’s sworn to kill any Lirien loyalist she encounters. But when a Lirien soldier saves her life—wounding himself in the process—Seren does the unthinkable: she spares him. To keep him from execution, she invokes a forbidden blood oath that binds their fates . . . and their souls. What Seren doesn’t know is that her captive isn’t just any soldier. Rykr Westhaven is the exiled heir to the Lirien throne—a prince with a price on his head and enemies closing in. If the Viori discover who he truly is, they’ll kill him—and her for protecting him. Condemned to a brutal trial by combat to earn their freedom, Seren and Rykr must fight side by side—against monsters, rivals, and the heat simmering between them. Their bond was forged in blood, but it sparks something darker, hungrier. What began as duty becomes desire, and every touch threatens to unravel the lies they’ve told to survive. Because when the truth comes to light, the only thing more dangerous than your sworn enemy . . . is the one you can’t live without. Carved in Crimson is the first book in the Heirs of Lirien series, romantic fantasies set in a mythical land.
