Killing Karlyn

Clean Romantasy

Being locked in a dungeon changes everything…
Karlyn swore fealty to the wrong man, sealing her loyalty with the brand of her guild. Now betrayed and sold like a pawn, she has nothing left but vengeance—and a vow to kill the one who ruined her life.

Waylon was ordered to guard a dangerous prisoner. But the woman in chains is nothing like the monster he was promised. Every secret he uncovers fractures his loyalty to the crown, binding him closer to the one woman he was meant to fear.

Enemies by oath, yet drawn together by fire, Karlyn and Waylon are forced into a fragile alliance. Hunted for treason and tormented by gods who meddle in mortal fate, their survival hinges on a single, perilous truth: desire may destroy them long before any blade.

In the kingdom of Zerelon, betrayal cuts deep, love burns hotter than fire, and the gods revel in ruin.
