Avril was sent to a dying border fortress to purge the darkness. Instead, one act of mercy binds her to two men she was never meant to love.
Rayne, the ruthless commander of the Light Knights, and Lochlan, his estranged twin and a former assassin, are trapped by an ancient contract: when one bleeds, the other feels the wound. When Avril uses her holy power to save Rayne, the curse awakens—and pulls all three of them into the same fate.
As war closes in, their bond grows more dangerous. Rayne distrusts his brother. Lochlan hides years of pain behind a cold smile. Yet both are drawn to Avril, and through the contract, even their feelings begin to echo between them.
Then Avril is poisoned, branded a traitor by the Church, and forced to uncover a truth buried beneath centuries of holy lies. The power inside her is not merely sacred—it may be the key to saving the realm, breaking the twins’ curse, and exposing the darkness within the Church itself.
But when one brother is struck down, the other falls with him.
To save them both, Avril must choose whether love is a weakness or the strongest magic of all.
