City of Snakes (Legends of Henosis, #2)

He destroyed her ancestors’ city. She is bound by oath to be his ally. A prophecy ties their fates. Soon they will discover who the true enemy is.

***
After Source-wielders attack her city, it is left in shambles. Queen Sybilla Wymark sees only one opportunity to protect her independent reign: honor her blood oath to follow a grumpy, ill-tempered King into an enemy realm. Sybilla expected his land to be a desert wasteland—what she had always been told it was. But when she arrives, she is confronted with a vibrant place full of magic and a surprising prophecy that forces her to wonder what other lies had she been fed?

Centuries ago, King Krait Darvanda built a sanctuary away from the land that outcasted Source magic. An alliance with the strong-willed Queen Wymark seems prudent…until he finds out that she might be bound to his destiny. To his dismay, Krait realizes that the only way he can prevail against a long rising threat to his realm is fighting by her spoiled, foul-mouthed side.
