Born from the Broken

Six years ago, Elira's husband gambled the most important thing to them in the Quadrant Trials. He thought he was outsmarting them, until he died screaming, and the empire took the payment anyway. Now Elira has entered the Trials herself, determined to burn the world down to get it back. But the man who kept her alive, her protector, the one she was falling for despite every vow she made, had been lying the whole time. He wanted her to lose. To be broken. To owe him everything. The trials strip Elira down to instinct and desire. Trust is scarce. Survival is not guaranteed. Between them stand two men who want her. One is wild and untethered, all laughter and fire. The other is strength, power, and a familiarity that feels like home. Elira must decide who to trust and whether the prize is worth losing herself. Born from the Broken is the first in a captivating, emotional dark romantasy trilogy of impossible choices, stolen magic, and a love that could ignite a revolution or destroy everything. Perfect for readers who crave morally grey anti-heroes, high-stakes political intrigue, and romance that leaves scars.
