She was forged to forget.
He spent ten years trying to remember.
Bryn is the Guild's most feared assassin-a living weapon marked with ancient runes that erased her past and chained her every thought to a single purpose: obey.
She has no family.
No childhood.
No name beyond the one her masters gave her.
When she is sent into the legendary Sunken Library to destroy a forbidden grimoire and its mysterious keeper, she expects another mission. Instead, she meets a man who greets her with a name she has never heard.
Elara.
Kael has searched for her since they were children. While the Guild stole her memories, they could never erase his. Every story he tells, every forgotten promise he remembers, causes the runes carved into her skin to crack-and the carefully constructed life she has always believed begins to unravel.
Hidden beneath the library lies a living book older than kingdoms, a magic capable of breaking every soul-rune ever created... or awakening something far more dangerous beneath the abyss.
To claim their freedom, Bryn and Kael must uncover a forgotten past, survive relentless hunters, and place their trust in each other completely.
Because some chains are forged from magic.
Others are forged from memory.
And the strongest of all are forged from love.
Runes of the Abyss is an emotionally rich romantasy featuring a deadly assassin heroine, a devoted scholar hero, ancient rune magic, forgotten memories, a slow-burn romance, forbidden destiny, and a sweeping journey of healing, hope, and redemption.
Perfect for readers who love epic fantasy romance with emotional depth, immersive worldbuilding, unforgettable characters, and a love story that proves some promises can outlive even memory itself.
