The sizzling romantasy debut of 2026

RUNEBREAKER IS A STEAMY, FAST-PACED ROMANTASY WITH FORCED PROXIMITY, HE-FALLS-FIRST TENSION, AND CAPTIVE/CAPTOR DYNAMICS – PERFECT FOR FANS OF JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT AND SARAH J. MAAS

An impossible power. A fathomless hatred. A bond that could unravel worlds.

Aelie can break runes with her bare hands, shattering the magic at the heart of fae society. They hate her for it, fear her for it, and, when they finally capture her, sentence her to die for it.

Desperate to survive, Aelie severs the rune enslaving her executioner – Kairos, a devastatingly handsome fae with a blood-soaked past.

The moment he's freed, Kairos slaughters the entire court. Then he drags Aelie to his kingdom, a realm of towering forests and shimmering mists.

Bound to the ruthless king she freed, Aelie is thrown into the deadly politics of the fae courts. To survive, she must master her forbidden power and resist the fae who sees her as his greatest weapon … and darkest obsession.

Featuring a feral, morally grey hero, a twenty-five-year-old heroine with a dangerous gift, mating bond tension, and immersive world building, Runebreaker will leave readers begging for more.
