Chromeblood

Every kiss feels like a knife fight.
Every spell is written in blood.
And falling for the enemy could bring an empire to its knees.

After Nisha's parents are slaughtered by Crowblood enforcers, she joins the resistance, determined to tear down the system that has crushed her people for generations. Her bloodline marks her as a low-ranking Skyblood, but the forbidden magic she hides tells a far more dangerous story. One that could free the city . . . or damn her as the first Chrome in centuries.

Auren Calder, ruthless heir to the Crowblood regime, hunts rebels by day and battles goblins by night in the cursed goblin storms that imprison his country. His sentient ring grows hungrier with every spell, while the fate of his family's reign hinges on breaking the curse. But the Goblin King commands the storms and the bloodthirsty legions within them, and the key to defeating him may lie with the one rebel Auren cannot catch--or stop wanting.

Enemies by blood and bound by a curse neither can escape, Nisha and Auren are forced into an alliance that could destroy them both. And as Auren begins to see that the empire he defends is built on blood and ruin, both must decide where their loyalties lie, before the truth they uncover ignites a war that will tear the city apart.
