Malum Discordiae: Tennebrose, Book 1

The apple of discord has always had a way of landing in the wrong hands—and this time, it lands between them.

In the shadow realm of Tennebrose, where ancient factions wage cold wars through whispers and blades, Sera has spent years perfecting her hatred of the man who destroyed everything she loved. He is ruthless, magnetic, and infuriatingly *right* about far too many things. He is also the only person standing between her world and complete annihilation.

Caden doesn't trust her. He shouldn't. She has every reason to put a knife in his back, and they both know it. But when a stolen relic threatens to unravel the fragile darkness holding Tennebrose together, necessity forges a partnership neither of them wanted—and proximity ignites something neither of them can name.

The tension between them is a living thing. It sharpens every argument into something that feels dangerously close to desire. It turns stolen glances into confessions neither dares to speak aloud. Their enemies are closing in, their alliance is built on sand, and the truth Sera has been guarding could detonate everything.

Some wars are fought with armies. Some are fought with silence. And some—the most devastating kind—are fought within the space between two people who were never supposed to want each other.

*The discord has only just begun.*
