Wren & Rune

Rune is the last Runebound, an immortal warrior cursed 800 years ago to bear the prison-seal of a forgotten god. The only key to breaking it is the bloodline of the witch who forged the curse—Wren, though she has no idea she’s a witch at all. Every time she tattoos him, another chain of the binding snaps, but the curse fights back, spawning shadow-creatures that hunt living magic. As the seal weakens, Rune’s memories return: battles, betrayals, and the face of the girl who once promised to wait for him—the girl who looks exactly like Wren.

What starts as a transactional exchange (her art for his freedom) ignites into furious attraction. Wren fears the power waking inside her; Rune fears the monster he’ll become if the curse fully breaks. Yet neither can stop. Each new tattoo pulls them deeper into a hidden fae war, forgotten gods, and a love that has survived death, reincarnation, and eight hundred years of separation. Between blood-soaked nights and ink-stained mornings, Wren must decide if freeing Rune will save him—or unleash something that will burn the world to ash just to keep them together.
