The Thousandth Vow

ONE THOUSAND DEATHS. ONE IMPOSSIBLE VOW. Princess Blaire Valen is a weapon of the Arcane Dominion, a pyromancer bred to burn cities. General Kaelen Thorne is the "Butcher of Blackwater," a cyborg warlord of the Iron Union built to crush them. For ten years, they have fought a war that turned the world to ash. Now, to save what remains, they must do the unthinkable: get married. The treaty is simple: bind their bloodlines, end the war. But the universe has other plans. When a bomb detonates at their wedding altar, Kael and Blaire don't die. They wake up. It is the morning of their wedding. Again. And again. And again. Trapped in a violent time loop within the Cathedral of the Silver Spire, the two enemies are forced to relive their forced marriage and inevitable murder hundreds of times. At first, they kill each other. Then, they try to escape. Finally, they realize the terrifying truth: they are the only two real people left in a world of ghosts. As the loop count rises, hatred turns to a lethal partnership. To break the cycle and defeat the shadow faction controlling their fate, the Warlord and the Princess must strip away their armor—both steel and magic—and forge something new. They must become the Alloy. But the cost of breaking the loop might be higher than the cost of staying in it. Because outside the simulation, the world they are fighting to save might already be dead. Edge of Tomorrow meets The Cruel Prince in this gritty, high-octane fantasy romance about two broken soldiers learning that the only thing harder than dying for your country is living for your enemy.
