Synopsis

An ex-military lion shifter, a powerful mage, and a fated bond that could change everything. In this sizzling paranormal shifter romance, USA Today bestselling author Bianca D’Arc delivers passion, danger, and destiny. Marigold Rollins grew up trapped in a dynasty of ruthless mages where children were nothing more than pawns and power ruled everything. Scarred by betrayal, she’s finally free, but freedom comes with a price. Her rare magical gift makes her both a target and the key to ending generations of dark magic. Gavin Kinkaid, ex-military lion shifter and fierce protector of his Clan, has never met a woman like Marigold. Strong, wounded, and braver than she knows, she awakens both his lion and his heart. As fated mates, their bond is undeniable, but when a vengeful cousin attacks and old family secrets surface, protecting Marigold means risking everything. Together, Gavin and Marigold must face the shadows of the Rollins legacy, confront dangerous enemies, and trust the power of love to rewrite their destinies. Because in the world of shifter romance, it takes more than claws and magic to win. It takes courage, loyalty, and the kind of passion that can change everything. Enter a world of danger, destiny, and desire, where the Kinkaid lions fight for love, family, and a future worth protecting.
