Ashen Bond: The Condemned and The Holy Blade

Her holy blade was biting into my throat when the abyss collapsed—and to survive, I welded our dying souls together in an ancient, blood-soaked curse. Now, the untouchable Inquisitor Commander sent to execute me is chained to my flesh, trapped within five paces where we share every wound, every gasp, and every surge of agony. She despises the monster I’ve become, but as my lethal ash-power burns out of control, her trembling hands on my skin are the only thing keeping us both from tearing apart at the seams. When the corrupt empire comes to finish what they started, will she plunge her sword into my heart and end her own life—or surrender her sacred vows to the heretic she was born to destroy?
