Introducing the first two covers for author Celeste Baxendell’s latest series, Runes of Pain and Peace.
“The Prince’s Captive”
A decoy bride sent to die. The soldier prince sent to capture her. How far will he go to save her life when even she has accepted her death?
Marcella is a mediocre mage whose only value to her people is the fact she looks like the clan’s heir. When she is ordered to take her place and be captured by their enemies so the heir can fulfill a marriage alliance, Marcella obeys.
Her only hope of surviving after her capture is for them to believe she’s the heir long enough for her to escape. Unfortunately the commander who captures her is sharper than anticipated. When he figures out the truth, she is as good as dead… isn’t she?
Upon discovering he captured a decoy instead of the heir his people needed for peace, Gavril is torn between his duty and his growing affection for a girl the world has deemed worthless. But what if she isn’t?
In her, he sees a path to peace. But if he’s going to keep her alive long enough to prove it, he might just have to tie himself to her forever. With enemies on every side, and his own heart lost to her, how is he going to protect a woman who will always hate him?
For lovers of epic magic, complex characters, and intense, slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance with no spice, The Prince’s Captive is an upper YA fantasy romance perfect for fans of Tara Grayce, Kenley Davidson, and Sarah K. L. Wilson!

Her life is a miracle. So is his plan for peace. Will their lies destroy any chance they have together and their one shot at ending this war?
There is only one thing Marcella excels at: following orders. Her orders are to bring her clan’s leader a prince to use against their enemies. Her feelings don’t matter. She can’t stay trapped in the enemy’s palace, and she can’t let this war come to a head where countless more will perish.
However, the prince who would do anything for her is the son his parents would gladly see in the hands of their enemies. His brother, on the other hand… But can she betray the man who has sacrificed everything for her?
Gavril almost lost his wife and would have thrown peace to the wind if she had not stopped him. Now, he won’t let anything threaten her safety while he brings peace between their people.
If he can give her what she claims to want most in her heart, maybe then he’ll finally be what replaces it. Can he achieve the impossible and finally tell his wife exactly what she means to him?
