The Gatekeeper's Bloodby Jess RaeShe was never supposed to open the gates. Tavira Morn has survived by trusting knives, shadows, and no one else. But when a stolen crown awakens ancient magic in her blood, she is bound to Dacien Veyr, an exiled prince with a ruined name, a dangerous past, and a throne's command burning in his veins. Gatekeeper blood opens. Throne blood commands. Together, they can either seal the old gods away.Or let them devour the world.
Hunted by royal armies, haunted by the dead, and forced into a bond neither of them asked for, Tavira and Dacien must cross cursed roads, shattered kingdoms, and gates built from grief, hunger, and betrayal. Every touch between them strengthens the magic. Every choice pulls them closer. And every enemy knows the same terrifying truth:If she is the key, he is the command. But Tavira refuses to belong to any crown, any gate, or any man.
And Dacien would burn the throne before he ever makes her kneel.
