The Bookbinder’s Bargain Book 1
Saige is a bookbinder but do to an unknown illness she has racked up significant debts. Then the one who holds her debts sells her where she ends up in a cell next to Acher, the General Azkari. Only she must compleate a bargain sealed with a kiss. Will she be able to get out of this one or will she loose more than she ever imagined?
This is the first book in the Bookbinder's Bargain. Saige is brilliant and a bit broken. Archer has been in prison for over two hundread years, due to this he has some cracks as well. The enemies to lovers is one of my favorites. This world has magic and yet things are dark and gritty as well. The story is fast paced and keeps you engaged wanting to turn the page I loved reading this book and can't wait to see where this story will go from her.
Tell me if this has helped in your choice to add this book to your TBR.

“Some bargains are sealed with blood... Others with fire... The deadliest are sealed with a kiss...
Saige Grayson has always believed stories could heal—even when her own body refuses to. As the most promising bookbinder in the capital, she’s learned to work through chronic pain and crushing debt, restoring other people’s treasures while trying not to fall apart herself. But when the man she owes decides her rare talent is worth more than her payments, Saige is traded to the Azkari—an immortal race forged by the gods for war—and imprisoned in their ancient stronghold.
Her only chance of survival lies with Archer, a fallen Azkari general imprisoned beside her —cursed, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. He offers her a way out, and in return, Saige must help him retrieve and restore an ancient book. But the book is made of living magic, powerful enough to stop a great evil—or unleash it. And as Saige works with Archer, the tome begins to awaken something dark and dangerous—both in the realm and within her.
As their enemies close in and buried memories resurface, Saige and Archer must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice: their freedom, their fragile trust…or the spark that could ignite the world.”
