In a kingdom ruled by a brutal king, Thalia Blackwood, an infamous assassin, is given a choice: fight for her freedom or remain a prisoner in the deadly salt mines of Karnak. Selected to compete against ruthless criminals in a contest to become the King’s Champion, Thalia soon finds herself entangled in dark court politics, where enemies lurk in the shadows, and nothing is as it seems. But as she navigates this treacherous competition, sinister forces far beyond the throne emerge, and Thalia must confront a hidden magic, long thought lost, that could destroy everything. With her deadly skills and a mysterious past that threatens to surface, she must outwit her rivals and face dangers both human and magical. Freedom comes at a price—and Thalia will pay it in blood if she has to. Will she win her freedom, or will the darkness of her past consume her first?

Bound By Deals The World Outside Karnak
The air in Oakwald Forest smelled fresher than anything I’d breathed in for the past year. Rich earth, decaying leaves, and the faint perfume of wildflowers filled my lungs as we rode beneath a canopy of trees. I was free. Or at least freer than I had been in Karnak.The three sleek black dogs darted ahead of the caravan, their excited yapping filling the air. The sound was almost joyful, and for a moment, I imagined that the pain of the chains around my wrists and ankles was gone. I knelt on the forest floor, reaching out to stroke their velvety ears, feeling their warmth and affection. Their tails whipped the ground like whips, slashing back and forth in excitement.As I pressed my face into the fur of one of the dogs, the dull thud of boots approached. I didn’t need to look up to know who it was. Only one person in this caravan walked with such authority—Callum Silvermark , Crown Prince of Kyrador. His presence weighed on me, more than the shackles ever could.“How unusual for them

The cold stone beneath me was hard, but that discomfort was nothing compared to the tension hanging in the room. My wrists burned where the chains dug into them, but I held my chin high, refusing to show any weakness. Callum Silvermark stood before me, as infuriatingly handsome as any prince had the right to be. Dark hair, perfect posture, those irritatingly beautiful sapphire eyes that sparkled with amusement as if he had the entire world in his palm. Maybe he did. But I wasn’t part of that world anymore. I had been dragged out of it, dirt and scars marking the distance between who I was and who I had become.“As quiet as the grave,” I said, my voice sharp with sarcasm, meeting his gaze with a mocking smile.Callum’s lips twitched as though he might smile, but he didn’t. Instead, he gave me that look—the one that made it clear he knew he had power here. He always would, standing in his silks and gold, untouched by the grime of Karnak.“Quiet, yes,” he said softly, taking a step close

“In case everything I said didn’t make sense to you earlier, Thalia Blackwood,” the Prince knocked me out of my thoughts.I stood back there, shackled and filthy, trying to ignore the way my wrists burned where the chains rubbed against raw skin. I didn’t have time to dwell on the pain. Not with *him* staring at me like that. Callum Silvermark, Crown Prince of Kyrador. His sapphire-blue eyes were fixed on me, cold and calculating.A prince was supposed to be ugly, cruel, and unworthy of his crown. But no—this one dared to be both royal and beautiful. *How unfair*. It was almost enough to make me laugh. Almost.He stood there, impossibly tall, his dark hair falling perfectly into place as though every strand knew its duty. He wore the air of royalty like a cloak—confidence, power, and ease all rolled into one. As I shifted uncomfortably, I couldn’t help but feel a flicker of shame at the contrast between us. My hair, once glorious and golden, was now filthy and tangled. My skin, once g

The halls were unfamiliar, and I hated that I didn’t know the way back. I hated the clean air, the smooth stone beneath my feet, hated the cold bite of the chains weighing down my wrists. Each clink of metal sounded too loud in the silence, a reminder that, after a year of slavery in Karnak, I was still a prisoner. Maybe in nicer surroundings, but a prisoner all the same.I could feel the eyes of the guards watching me. They flanked me on either side, their armor gleaming under the torches that lined the walls, their hands ready at the hilts of their swords. As if I were still a threat. The thought brought a bitter smile to my lips. The Great Thalia Blackwood, was brought low by chains and a year in the mines. How far I had fallen.But I kept my head high.
