Tongue-tied

She does what is right. He does what is needed. Or so they both tell themselves.

An ancient enchantment keeps countless truths buried, the Arcane Forest lets none who enter leave, and no one really understands the powers of Magic Wielders. So much about their world remains cloaked in mystery... and perhaps for a good reason.

Leto was born into an Order created by God himself to guard his secrets. When God's presence faded, she served the King instead, until a single wrong decision led to her exile. Now someone is hunting the members of her Order, and Leto must return to the place that cast her out to uncover the truth.

Cahan is a rogue raider fighting in a war most believe is pointless. He's built a crew he's proud of, and he's survived this long by following rumors that always seem to lead him to the right place at the right time. But doubt gnaws at him. The harder he pushes to prove his worth, the closer he comes to crossing a line he can't undo.

As the boundary between enemy and ally blurs, both must confront what they're willing to sacrifice to protect what they care about most.

Tongue-Tied is a multi-POV, character-driven fantasy featuring ancient mysteries, court intrigue, morally complex choices, and a slow-burn romance that develops gradually across the trilogy.
