Body of Stone by Krysta Fox

An exiled shifter, fending off death threats at every turn. The woman he craves, heir to a throne she can’t renounce. Can the magic of love save them both?

CARRICK
My brothers have beaten the power of the curse leveled on us long ago, something we all feared would never happen. Exiled by the Elders, I’ve done what I can to save my family from afar. But it might be at the risk of my own happiness. Because the woman I’ve fallen in love with is tied to her home in ways I’ll never understand. And now I’m being forced to leave her behind. Is there any chance our love could survive the differences that separate us?

NELL
When Carrick arrived as an Envoy from his Elders, there were bets against his survival. Days or weeks were all anyone expected, but he defied all their expectations. And instead of proving the ancestral hatred between our people had merit, he showed us we were all wrong about him. But losing my heart to one of his kind? My family won’t stand for it. And giving up a throne for love? I might as well sign my own death warrant. Is there any future for us? Or should I just let him go?
