The Ruin and Reign Duet · Book 1
Villains aren’t born - they’re made.
In a world where elemental abilities define one's place in society, Maxine Moreaux was destined to stand among the elite - to be a protector, a warrior. But her bright future is shattered when she’s taken by the very forces she was trained to fight against - sealing her fate as the object of a violent and twisted obsession.
Karsen Bennett refuses to lose her. They weren’t supposed to fall for each other, and he sure as hell isn’t supposed to tear the world apart to get her back.
To survive, they’ll have to cross every line.
They were meant to be heroes - but to reclaim what was stolen, they’ll have to become something else entirely.
