Kael Thorne

The Warlord

Warlord of Caer Luthar and the Dominion's undefeated general, Kael Thorne has carried a secret for twelve years. The Thornbound sigil hidden beneath his armor—three thorns crowned by red and blue leaves—appeared the night he chose mercy over massacre at Velryn's Wall. It has slept dormant ever since.

A conqueror. A general. A man who rules through strength and refuses to play by anyone's rules. He should see the mysterious assassin who enters his city as nothing more than a threat.

But the moment she arrives, the sigil awakens. And Kael realizes she's not just his enemy—she's something he's been waiting for without knowing it.
