Chosen by the Prophecy's Heir. A Dark Witch Romantasy of a Dark Prophecy, a Bargain with a God, and the Destiny He Refused

Paranormal Romance - slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads. She wields forbidden Ash magic in a world that burns witches. He commands the Storm Court's army-and he's the single father who just discovered her secret. One mission binds them. One brother's life hangs in the balance. And the only way to survive is to trust the enemy who could destroy her. For five years, Lyra Vex has hidden her Ash-born powers, masquerading as a lowly scribe in the Storm Court while secretly hunting for evidence to exonerate her executed father.
But when a brutal attack leaves her brother imprisoned and sentenced to death for treason he didn't commit, Lyra must do the unthinkable: infiltrate the Commander's personal estate and steal the proof that will set him free. Darian Stormbane doesn't trust anyone. As the Commander of the Storm Court's legions, his life is a fortress of duty-protecting his people from the rogue Ash witches who nearly destroyed the realm a decade ago.
But his iron control is cracking. His young daughter, Elara, hasn't spoken since her mother's death, and the new scribe he's hired to tutor her is too quiet, too watchful, and too beautiful for his peace of mind. He knows she's hiding something. He just doesn't know it will shatter his world. When Lyra is caught red-handed in Darian's private study, the sparks between them ignite into a war of wills.
He should execute her on the spot. Instead, he offers a deal: she becomes his personal spy inside the Ash Court's underground resistance, and in exchange, he'll grant her brother a stay of execution. But every day she spends in Darian's orbit, teaching his silent daughter, watching him fight to be both father and soldier, makes it harder to remember that he's the enemy. And every night, when he looks at her with those storm-gray eyes, she wonders if he could ever see past the magic she was born with. Then the impossible choice arrives: the resistance demands Lyra betray Darian's battle plans for the coming war, or they will kill her brother.
Darian offers her a new life-a place in his home, a future with him and Elara-if she tells him everything. But revealing the truth would expose her father's innocence and ignite a conflict that could destroy both courts. Tropes: Single dad meets forbidden love. Enemies to lovers with a forced-proximity twist. One bed, one lie, one chance at redemption. Slow-burn romance with a high-stakes magical war.
