Echoed Vow: An Enemies to Lovers Epic Fantasy Romance (The Resonant Hunger Book #1)

Sex is the weapon. Love is the lock.

Navy SEAL Theo Voss was trained to survive anything—dark water, terrorist raids, orders that don’t leave room for doubt. One covert mission off the California coast ends with him falling through a living seam, and into Thalmaris, a glittering realm where magic is fed by emotion. And there, emotions are meant to be harvested, traded, and stolen.

Princess Maela Corvale doesn’t have the luxury of feeling. In her world, emotion is currency, power, and control—it’s Thryss. The Hollowed are hungry. They slip through dreams, feed on fear, and hollow people out from the inside. Maela has ruled with a blade in one hand and ice in her veins, until Theo crashes into her life like fiery chemistry wrapped in skin.

Theo isn’t just an outsider.

He’s infinite.

Every kiss, every touch, every filthy, forbidden inch of pleasure between them creates a surge of Thryss no well can drain—power enough to turn Maela into a weapon no army can withstand. The problem? The Hollowed can scent that kind of heat from miles away. The more they use desire as ammunition, the tighter the bond locks around their hearts. Until love becomes the one thing their enemies can aim.

With two worlds cracking open and bodies piling up on both sides of the seam, Theo and Maela have one desperate shot to seal the wound: an echoed vow strong enough to hold… and intimate enough to cost them everything.

Pleasure is power and love is the deadliest risk of all.
