A Tale of Two Fates by Julia Lauzon:
 
Since awakening in ashes, Loralie has been forced to wield forbidden Magic for survival.

Masquerading as a traveling bard, her sharp tongue immediately attracts trouble when she collides with Decklyn–a former captain of the queen's guard turned fugitive–and his closest men. When a loose-tongued companion spills their secret to Loralie and is killed during her escape, it becomes clear he can’t just allow her to slip away.

When a rebel mage intervenes in the chase, the pair becomes bound by an ancient Magic. With dire consequences in the balance for both parties, neither is free to walk away.

As answers prove evasive, Loralie and Decklyn must work together to break the tie before time runs out. But when shards of Loralie’s memories return, her magic evolves into something much darker. Eventually, she is forced to face the truth; her forgotten past could topple the kingdom of Pangenon, and her only true ally is the man who intends to silence her.

Perfect for fans of slow-burn romantic fantasy, forbidden magic, and witty banter.
