Because the Beasts Came (Wells of Istri #1) by Madeline James:
 
**To save their world, they must stand together. But loving each other will destroy it.**
 
After toppling a brutal military gang, Iryana is ready to claim her role as heir. To survive the growing threat of the beasts, she must unite her clan with the military brigade, chasing a delicate peace that is her only path to Pyetar.
 
But peace has shallow roots in a kingdom still bleeding. As frost creeps into the valley, blood-black poppies bloom, bringing hordes of beasts that no longer kill on instinct but hunt with intent.
 
Working together, the forbidden pull between them is undeniable. But if discovered, their secret will shatter the fragile alliance—and sentence both sides to absolute destruction.
 
For them to survive what is coming, Iryana must uncover the beasts’ true origin—but the only power strong enough to create such monsters is supposed to be dead.
