In this fated mates romance, a figure skater and her hockey prince explore a fae world where shifters bind themselves to sorceresses and royals wage war for the monarchy. 

Finding your soulmate can be deadly…

Emma spent her life chasing gold as a figure skater until discovering she’s a sorceress meant to bond with a shifter mate. Whisked into a realm where shifters like dragons, griffins, alicorns and wolves hunt monsters, Emma balances casting illusion magic and finding her fae wings at a magical university while navigating having a rare immune condition. The fae seek to choose a new king through a royal competition, and Emma becomes a reluctant contestant alongside a wolf shifter who needs a wife. 

Ethan is a disgraced wolf prince and a hockey star who has his eye on the crown. Left as an amputee after slaying a dark creature that took his leg, Ethan desires to rule the realm by day while spending his nights as the elusive Phantom, the vigilante that protects Malovia. Ethan bonds with Emma at first sight. Except Emma already believes she’s bonded— to the Phantom. Revealing his secret identity as an assassin, and their fated bond, would put Emma in more danger than she already is. Ethan rejects their connection, knowing he must choose between saving his country or loving his true soulmate.

Ethan makes Emma an offer; an arranged engagement in order to participate in the King’s Contest, and seize the throne for themselves, with no romance involved. But Arcanea University is full of regal secrets and dark deception, and a cult of shadow wants Emma’s blood. To claim the crown, Ethan must make Emma his queen, before the realm falls into the wrong hands and chaos reigns over the kingdom.
