The Thirteenth Bond

[Siren Classic ManLove: Erotic Romance, Alternative, Fairy Tale, Gothic Romance, Fantasy, Magic, MM, HEA] Valen Gurtarg doesn’t believe in curses. Only blood, betrayal, and the constant ache in his ruined hip. But when the king’s coin lands in his palm, Valen—disgraced soldier, hardened mercenary—agrees to one last job: uncover the truth behind twelve royal princes whose bodies weaken by day and whose shoes are worn to ribbons each morning. The palace is too quiet. The staff, too subdued. And the princes themselves; beautiful, identical, and unnervingly in sync. As Valen digs deeper, he finds whispers of a vanished sibling, a thirteenth door sealed shut, and a mirror that doesn’t always reflect what it should. When Yrwen, horned, seething and powerful, steps through the glass, everything unravels. Lust coils into longing. Duty tangles with desire. And the lines between predator and prey begin to blur. The Thirteenth Bond is a slow-burn gothic fairytale of obsession, identity, and impossible love, where nothing is as it seems. And some monsters were made to be wanted.
