The second instalment in Elizabeth May's thrilling and sexy romantasy series, perfect for fans of Raven Kennedy.
AN EMPRESS BOUND BY BLOOD. A GOD BOUND BY HATE. A CHOICE THAT COULD SHATTER TWO WORLDS.
Theodora Devaliant wasn't born to rule - she was born to bleed. The last Anchor of a cursed royal bloodline, her body alone upholds the fragile veil between divine and mortal realms. When her life is threatened and demigods are found slaughtered in her streets, the god-king issues an ultimatum: marry, produce an heir, or watch the realms burn. To ensure she survives long enough to comply, he sends his most lethal Enforcer to guard her.
Bastien has spent centuries nursing his hatred for the Devaliant family. Convinced Theodora is behind the murders, he'll use his assignment as her bodyguard to gather proof and watch her empire crumble. But as desire blurs the lines between enemy and ally, the body count rises, and evidence points to a conspiracy that could shatter both their worlds.
Because when duty and desire collide, and the veil between gods and humans begins to tear, choosing wrong doesn't just mean death - it means apocalypse.
The series
In a kingdom where treaties are sealed with blood and monarchs are sacrificed to keep fragile gods at bay, survival is bound to rituals as old as the crown itself. The Broken Accords series unfolds in a world shaped by dangerous bargains, where devotion can be as lethal as betrayal.

The story begins with Bryony Devaliant, a princess raised beneath the shadow of sacrifice, and Evander, the Wolf, an immortal assassin who has spent centuries carrying out the will of a god-king. When their paths collide, attraction sparks against a backdrop of rebellion, prophecy, and death itself. What begins as an impossible clash of duty and desire spirals into a tale where every vow carries a price, and every heartbeat might tip the balance between ruin and salvation.

With its blend of passion, rebellion, and myth-touched danger, the Broken Accords series invites readers into a realm where love is as perilous as war and every promise is written in blood.
