The blood-rite binding Arthur to Karvek was supposed to secure peace between kingdoms. Instead, it has done the one thing neither court can it has made Arthur a viable part of Durnhold’s future. Now the captains of the dominion are splitting apart over the threat of an heir. Traitors inside the keep want the bond severed. Arthur’s former kingdom wants proof he can never carry a claimant. And every choice he makes drags Durnhold closer to civil war, open invasion, or both. Karvek would tear the world apart to keep Arthur alive. Arthur refuses to let anyone carve the magic out of his body to make frightened men feel safe. With enemies inside the walls, soldiers gathering beyond the gates, and the claim between them turning from scandal into power, Arthur and Karvek will have to decide what matters peace, survival, or the right to rule together. Bound to the Throne is a dark MM monster romance with explicit heat, mating-bond stakes, throne politics, possessive intensity, and war at the gate. less
