Kalabandi

A mortal spy. A ruthless Fae prince. A bond neither of them can escape. When Lyra, a human spy, slips into the ancient archives of the Fae kingdom to steal a forbidden artifact, she expects danger-she does not expect to be caught by Prince Zael, Commander of the immortal host. Their clash ignites an ancient magic: the Fated Mate bond. Now, enemies are bound by destiny-and by a power the High Court calls an abomination.
To hide the scandal, Zael forces Lyra into a marriage of convenience. By day they play the perfect couple before the court; by night they wage a silent war of wills. Each touch, each glance, fans a desire neither can control, and every lie they tell to protect their secret drives them closer to ruin. When rebellion brews in the mortal lands and treachery corrodes the throne, Lyra and Zael must decide what matters more: duty or the forbidden love that could save-or destroy-their world.
From whispered court intrigues to moon-lit battles and the slow burn of impossible passion, Fated Shadows delivers an unforgettable Enemies-to-Lovers Dark Fae Fantasy Romance where love becomes the most dangerous weapon of all.
