Stormbound. A Court-Intrigue Romantasy of a Marriage of Alliance, a Dragon's Vow, and the War the Prophecy Foretold

Paranormal Romance - slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads. A vampire-court romantasy, a dragon bond, a bargain with a god. To save her dying sister, Summer Court healer Elara Volkov agrees to marry the ruthless Bone King-but his frozen court hides a curse that demands her heart as payment, and the king is not the monster she feared, but the one she might love. Elara has spent years mending flesh and bone in the sun-soaked Summer Court, but when her sister is struck by a blight that no magic can cure, she turns to the only being who might help: the Bone King, a vampire lord whose power over death is whispered in fearful prayers.
His price? Her hand in marriage, and her permanent relocation to his realm of eternal frost. Desperate, Elara accepts. But the Bone King's court is not what she expected. Beneath the ice lies a kingdom of haunting beauty, where the dead walk as servants and the living are bound by ancient bargains. The king himself is cold, yes, but not cruel-and as Elara learns his tragic history, she begins to see the sorrow behind his throne.
Yet a deeper threat stirs. The curse that killed her sister is spreading, and the only way to break it is to sacrifice what Elara holds most precious: her own heart, literally and figuratively. She must choose: let her sister die, or give herself to a god who demands everything. Complicating matters is the dragon bond that awakens between Elara and the king-a mystical link that ties their souls together, promising power but also permanent entanglement.
And beyond the Veil Between Worlds, a forgotten god stirs, one who made the bargain that cursed the court centuries ago. Elara must navigate a web of courtly intrigue, forbidden emotion, and impossible choices. She cannot save everyone. She cannot keep her heart and her sister. And the king-who has begun to thaw under her warmth-may be the one person she cannot afford to lose. A slow-burn romance between a healer and a vampire king, enemies-to-lovers forced proximity, a dragon bond that cannot be denied, and a bargain with a god that will cost everything.
For readers who love sweeping fantasy romance with high stakes, morally gray heroes, and a touch of the macabre. This is the first book in the Courts of the Veil series. If you crave tales of star-crossed lovers, cursed kingdoms, and the kind of love that defies death itself, begin your journey here. The next book, A Court of Shadows and Silver, continues Elara's story as the veil thins and darker powers rise. Perfect for readers who love **Harley Laroux** and **Liv Zander**.
