Some crowns cost more than blood. Prince Erythis was never meant to sit on the Cloud Throne — youngest son, least trusted, the family's favorite disappointment. He's also the only living soul who remembers three Ages of the same doomed pattern of loss, waking each time from a nightmare of the kingdom unraveling around him. Then a stranger breaks through a barrier no outsider has ever crossed: an elf battlemage tied to Erythis by a Fate bond six hundred years in the making, thrown into the dungeons the same day the chaos beasts return. For the first time in uncountable failed cycles, someone truly believes him. Together they'll have to kill a creature no one has ever managed to kill twice, root out a traitor closer to the throne than either of them wants to accept, and risk everything on a bond neither Fate nor time has managed to sever. Can they end a war they've already lost countless times before — before it ends them for good? Cloud's Demise is a lush, high-stakes M/M fantasy romance for readers who love their fated mates with centuries of longing behind them and their epic fantasy with a body count. If you like the political bite of A Taste of Gold and Iron and the slow-burn ache of Captive Prince, you'll love this story of buried worth, hard-won belief, and a bond that outlasts time itself.
