The First Spark: A Forbidden Soulmates Romantasy

I STOLE A SACRED PENDANT-AND AWAKENED A LOVE THAT WILL HAUNT US FOR SIX LIFETIMES. The first time Amon-Raem touches me, I remember loving him before I was born. Which is impossible. He is the temple's obedient heir, promised to the gods and watched by a father who rules through fear. I am a river artisan's daughter facing death for stealing the blue pendant now burning against my skin. Amon should surrender me to the guards. Instead, he lies for me. Secret meetings beneath a fig tree become forbidden touches, shared visions, and a love powerful enough to threaten the temple's authority. But an ancient prophecy warns that if Amon chooses me, the old order will fall-and if he denies our bond, our wounded souls will be forced to find each other again. When my brother is imprisoned and Amon is commanded to condemn me publicly, our escape becomes a choice between duty and a love neither of us fully understands.
