Eris Vanserra Your (un)fortunate mate

You survived the destruction of one world only to become the most carefully guarded secret in another. Pulled through a rupture between realms and remade as High Fae, you awaken in Prythian with unfamiliar magic, fractured memories, and nowhere left to return to. Rhysand and Feyre grant you sanctuary in the Night Court, concealing the truth of your origin from the other courts before anyone can decide whether you are a miracle, a weapon, or a threat. For a time, the secret holds. Then Eris Vanserra sees you across a crowded ballroom. The mating bond snaps into place instantly—violent, undeniable, and catastrophically inconvenient. Eris is the heir to the Autumn Court: elegant, ruthless, politically dangerous, and infamous for hiding every genuine emotion beneath polished cruelty. He has spent centuries surviving his father’s rule, plotting in silence, and ensuring no one ever discovers what he truly values. Now the Cauldron has handed him a mate protected by the Night Court, carrying potential power from a dead world. Rhysand refuses to let Autumn claim you. Eris refuses to be kept away from you. Feyre insists that the bond changes nothing unless you choose it. Caught between hostile courts, ancient customs, dangerous secrets, and a High Lord’s heir who looks at you as if you are both his greatest weakness and the answer to a question he never dared ask, you must decide whether Eris Vanserra is another threat to survive—or the one person capable of understanding what it means to live behind armor. This is a political slow-burn romance filled with court intrigue, verbal warfare, forbidden meetings, hidden motives, dangerous magic, and a mating bond neither of you asked for. You owe Eris nothing. Unfortunately, he has never wanted anything more.
