The Sovereign Bond Trilogy Blood Triage: A Forbidden-Bond Romantasy, Book 1, (Paperback)

<p>In the Collegium, love isn't a refuge. It's a sentence.</p><p>Jessa came to the corridors to survive one more season, keep her head down, and keep her dangerous gift hidden. But when a catastrophic rite turns the wardlines into a trap, she's bound to the one man she should never touch: Darian Rooke, a battle-scarred commander whose loyalty to the institution has cost him everything except his will.</p><p>Their bond isn't romantic. It's regulated. Watched. Weaponized.</p><p>Because bonded pairs can stabilize the Spine that holds the realm together... or tear it open.</p><p>As bodies fall and the corridors begin to wake, Jessa and Darian are forced into impossible choices: obey and become tools of the Wardwrights, or defy the rules and risk unleashing something ancient beneath the stone. Every time they get too close, the bond demands a price. Every time they pull apart, the Spine threatens to bite back.</p><p>And the most terrifying truth?</p><p>The bond isn't only binding them to each other. It's teaching the powers above how to control everyone like them.</p><p>Now Jessa must decide what she's willing to confess, what she's willing to burn, and whether love can be sovereign in a place built to own it. Because the corridors are listening, the conspiracy runs deeper than any council chamber, and the next threshold of their bond won't just change their fate...</p><p>It will decide who holds power in the realm.</p><p><em>Blood Triage: A Forbidden-Bond Romantasy</em> is a dark, emotionally intense romantasy featuring a dangerous forced bond, slow-burn tension, sharp banter under pressure, and high-stakes magic where every vow leaves a mark.</p>
