Where Two Kingdoms Bleed

Elarion and Varkesh have spent years bleeding across a disputed border. Each kingdom blames the other for the massacre that destroyed their last hope of peace. Now new orders bear genuine royal seals, villages burn before the commands are written, and a dragon hunts something neither crown understands.

Commander Darian Vale is ordered to obey a war he no longer trusts. Princess Seraya Korr, a healer trapped inside her father’s court, finds the same lies spreading through Varkesh. Their forbidden bond may be the only bridge between two enemies, but exposing the truth could destroy them both.

As an orc exile, a guilt-ridden investigator, and rival commanders uncover pieces of the same conspiracy, the armies of both kingdoms march toward a slaughter designed by hidden hands. To stop it, Darian and Seraya must decide what they are willing to betray and what they are willing to lose before the broken banners bury every truth beneath them.
