Sunbound: Sunbound: An Arthurian Romantasy of Oaths, Curses, and Desire by D Alexander Gagne

Sunbound: A Dark Arthurian Romantasy Five winters after Camlann, Britain is still bleeding. Sir Cailean of Lothian was once sworn to a king, a sword, and a bright impossible future. Now Arthur is dead, the old roads are breaking, and the north is ruled by mud, hunger, ghosts, and oath-debts no sane man would choose to pay. Bound to the sun's fading strength and the broken legacy of Galatine, Cailean wants only to keep what little remains of his household alive. Then Maeve comes to him under a curse. Loathly by day and herself only by night, Maeve has survived by wit, fury, and refusing to be pitied. She knows the shape of binding magic, the cost of bargains, and the danger of men who think a woman's curse gives them the right to save her. But when Morgan le Fay begins gathering the dead around the black waters of the north, Maeve and Cailean are forced onto the same road-one lit by old magic, hunted vows, and a desire neither of them can afford. With a young squire at his side, enemies closing from mist and sea, and Mordred's shadow moving through the ruins of Arthur's world, Cailean must decide what kind of knight remains when the king is gone. Maeve must decide whether freedom is worth trusting the one man whose honor may kill him. Read more
