The Silent Knight

She came for safety.
He’s the danger her protectors never accounted for.
One snowstorm—and ancient vows wake burning.

Princess Eira Haldane has survived a lifetime of careful smiles and court-approved silence. No freedom. No real desire. Definitely no chance the deaf omega heir would be sent to a remote Yule keep with a cursed alpha knight who communicates more with his eyes than most men do with speeches.
But when her heat rises early, every instinct she’s kept sharp and hidden roars free and something in the dark answers.

Sir Asterin Einhart was once the Winter Mother’s chosen knight, until failure, loss, and a vicious spell stole his voice and doomed him to centuries of quiet ruin. Mute. Bound. Cursed to command only during rut… at the cost of feeding the magic devouring him.
Then Eira walks into his charge, her scent shattering his hard-won restraint. Guarding her means revealing the truth of what he’s become. Protecting her means resisting the hunger clawing up his spine. Claiming her… could free him or finish the curse for good.

When Eira uncovers the truth etched into the stone of his forgotten keep, she realizes the myths got one thing right—
the Winter Mother’s knight never breaks his vows.
And Asterin? He’ll face gods, curses, and the chokehold of his own past before he lets the storm, or fate, take her from him.
