The Cursed Prince and His Unfated Mate

Orphaned and ostracized, Elara possesses a peculiar gift: he can mend anything with a touch, be it a shattered vase or a broken heart. Yet, this power feels more like a curse, for every mended object leaves a painful echo within him. When the Crown Prince of Veridian, Kai, is struck by a mysterious, life-threatening 'rot' that no magic can cure, Elara is thrust into the opulent, yet treacherous, royal court. Rumors whisper of a forgotten curse, and Elara’s unique ability might be Kai’s only hope. But mending the prince means confronting not just a deadly malady, but also the ancient secrets that bind their world, and the burgeoning, forbidden desire that could either save or doom them both. The fate of the kingdom, and their own hearts, hangs in the balance.
