Bindings of Lore by Krista Street

Betrayed. Caged. Heartbroken. Despite what’s been done to her, Primelle must uncover and stop the force that’s been hunting her since she was born, otherwise, the entire kingdom will fall.

Taken by the Imperial Council and guarded by Kole, I’m forced to face two painful truths: Kole betrayed me and Timith is going to die, unless I can find a way to stop it.

Desperate to cure my beloved uncle, I ignore the dangers my secret origins reveal and sacrifice my safety in hopes of saving him, but consequences swiftly follow.

I’m thrust into a life I never wanted with danger at every turn, and even Kole can’t stop the dark forces from moving in, so on a night I’m nearly captured, I take matters into my own hands. I convince those governing my freedom to let me dive into the history books to search for the elusive answers that promise to set me free.

But my discoveries go awry, Kole disappears, and my enemy moves in. And just when the solution to everything is within my reach, someone from my past resurfaces, and my life takes a shocking turn that none of us saw coming.
