Blurb
The fates of two nations hang on the balance on a man’s choice between love and an
arcane bond.
Philip has been spearheading a rebellion in his country, with Casey, his lover and partner, at
his side. The rebellion has snowballed into a civil war and casualties on both sides are
mounting. In a desperate attempt for peace, Philip decides to approach Raylan, the second
in command of the other side. He has learned that Raylan is not as stubborn as his mentor
and that he may be open to negotiations.
The last thing Philip expects is for a soul mate bond to spring to life between him and
Raylan, activating an ancient curse that will kill them both if the bond isn’t consummated.
Philip has never loved anyone but Casey, and Raylan is a total stranger who he has no
feelings for. Yet, the delicate negotiations between the two nations will fail without him and
Raylan. Philip’s life is not his own, after all; it belongs to the people he has pledged his
service to.
With more than his life at stake, will Philip be able to let go of the love of his life to bring
peace to his people?

My Review We have 3 different perspectives in this book, which did give it an extra layer to the plot, and how the story unfolds. Proper dilemma what to do when the one you love isn’t your soul mate, and if you don’t consummate your bond, with the soul mate you and they die. How would if feel knowing you aren’t the soul mate, lots of emotions and stress, as they are also all at war, and people’s lives depend on them. I would of liked a little more backstory for each of them, as I wanted to know more about their drives in this plot. However it’s a totally enjoyable book and I thoroughly recommend it.
