Bound in Shadows
Lira never asked for power, but when the gods come to claim her, she has no choice but to accept the curse that binds her to one of the most feared and enigmatic beings of all.
Kael, the god of shadows, has marked her with an ancient symbol, tethering her to a world of darkness and danger she never imagined. His power is intoxicating, his touch both dangerous and irresistible. And though she refuses to admit it, something in her stirs when he's near-a desire that burns with every encounter, every whispered promise.
As the mortal daughter of a disgraced family, Lira has lived her life in the shadows, constantly hiding from those who would use her for their own gain. But now, the god who controls the very darkness she's been running from has claimed her as his own, and she must navigate a treacherous path of forbidden magic, lust, and betrayal.
Caught between her growing attraction to Kael and her desperate desire for freedom, Lira must learn to wield the power he's given her-before it consumes them both. But with every step deeper into the world of gods and monsters, she risks losing herself to the shadows that threaten to swallow her whole.
Bound in Shadows is a dark, passionate tale of love, power, and the cost of embracing one's destiny, set against a world where gods walk among mortals and desire has no bounds.
