The Witch Who Was Never Claimed

Seren has been claimed nine times-and escaped every one. No ritual can bind her. No house can own her magic. Each failed attempt leaves ashes behind and makes her more dangerous to those who profit from control. When the Crown sends a sentinel to succeed where others have failed, Seren expects chains or execution. Instead, she finds a man who questions the system that trained him-and a bargain that could change everything.
Hunted across unclaimed lands by nobles who refuse to lose their prize, Seren must decide whether freedom is worth endless flight, while the sentinel must choose between duty and a truth that threatens the foundations of power itself. A dark, slow-burn romantic fantasy about autonomy, forbidden trust, and a woman whose magic was never meant to kneel.
