A Baron of Bonds by Chelsey Ann Tompkins

“I breathe, you breathe. Ready?”
Karus has lived the past seven years as a shell of the channeler she once was. Now that her memories have returned, she has choices to make that will change the lives of the people she loves and inevitably, all of Arcaynen Isle.
Revich’s unwavering hope that his love would return has been fulfilled, and as he begins to heal from a past without her, a threat looms over his power and life as the Baron of Felgren.
While Karus and Rev navigate their bond and roles in the forest, a dark presence wields more influence over their lives than they could possibly know, tangling into their present and forging a path to their future.

This is the second book in A Conduit of Light Series that is Multiple POV, focusing on returning characters and one new character. This book depicts more spicy scenes than the first, and a note from the author is included if there are themes you’d like to know about before continuing the series.
