A Union in Thunder - Paperback

by Hannah Eaton (Author)

In war-torn Proventium, noble daughters earn suitors with a dowry far greater than wealth: magic. Lacking offensive powers, Lavinia Bruis is determined to prove her healing magic is not a liability through an auspicious match. Though the match she longs for, her childhood love, Oran, is out of reach, she always expected to survive in a loveless marriage. What she never expected was to catch the interest of the king-a husband three wives have not survived.

Plagued by rebellion and the Wasting, a rot draining the land, King Alaric is desperate to find the kingdom's salvation. When he deems Lavinia the bride prophesied to end the turmoil, she is fated with an impossible task, one that, should she fail, will earn her a place on the executioner's block. Faced with the brutality of King Alaric's rule, Lavinia must confront her true loyalty: her kingdom, her family, or her heart.

Fire wielder Oran Lennox's loyalty and heart had long been torn between his homeland, subjugated Tythmore, and his love, Lavinia. Refusing to endanger Lavinia with the rebel cause his father died for, Oran felt doomed to love her from afar until the fates of Lavinia and Tythmore become intertwined. Committing to the rebellion may be the only way to save both Lavinia and Tythmore from King Alaric's cruelty.

As the binds of the prophecy demand they decide between using their magic to fight for their warring homelands or the home they've found in each other, Oran and Lavinia must discover if their love is strong enough to fight fate.
