Soulbound by Three Beasts

Seren Vale has survived nineteen winters collared in the frozen yard of Ravensgate, a half-blood tracker who can follow a scent through solid stone while full-blood fae decide her fate.

A Council herald arrives with a Writ of Severance, claiming her for the Unmaking, a ritual meant to carve the budding magic from her chest and leave her hollow.

Three ancient rulers of the Winter Court will not surrender her: Vaughn Ironmere, a fourteen-hundred-year-old wolf shifter and Warden of the Hunt who defies the heralds with iron and blood; Corvin Ash, a raven shifter and Blade of the Court who keeps her breathing with secrets and false seals;

and Ilyan Frost, a white stag healer and Songkeeper whose quiet power can blunt the Council’s deadliest hooks.

Realm law offers one shield—a completed mate bond that would make her Court-held and untouchable—yet Seren refuses to be owned and refuses to choose only one.

Survival means yielding to the primal pull that ties her to all three beasts, anchoring three forbidden soul-threads and sparking a passion fierce enough to ignite war between the Courts.

Saving her from the ritual table will also mark her as the rarest prize in four hundred years, and the realm itself may pay the price.
