A Realm of Trials and Fury: Arcane Realm Chronicles, Book 2 by Larissa Antonioni (SIGNED EDITION)

He’ll never let her go.

Renwick was once the high lord’s most trusted assassin, but now he’s no longer forced into servitude and his greater bond to Davina—his fated mate—propels him further into a world of magic, secrets, and tyranny.
Protecting her means defying the very systems that shaped him and confronting the secrets he’s been terrified to face. As the realm fractures under tyranny and betrayal, Renwick must consider how far he’s willing to go to keep his mate alive.

Davina is broken—captive in the high lord’s manor. Her magic is stolen, her body is destroyed. But she is not weak. She is heir to a throne she never wanted and power that grows by the minute.
Haunted by voices whispering of ruin and rule alike, will Davina surrender to the darkness within? Or rise as the queen her people desperately need, with her dragon-shifter fated mate by her side?
