Bound by Shadow
Book Two of the Arsavox Chronicles
By J.A. Haynes & L. Watson
The Dark Forest has teeth.
But this time, the greatest danger does not lurk in its shadows.
Aconite has never feared the beast inside her - the panther's claws, the wild hunger, the reckless strength that kept her alive. But now, with new life stirring inside her, shifting is no longer survival. It is a death sentence.
Azazel, the fallen king, has faced armies, betrayals, and centuries of solitude. None of it terrifies him as much as losing her. Bound by shadow and ruin, he will do anything to keep her safe - even if it means caging the only woman who ever defied him.
But the castle is changing. The wards hum like a second heartbeat, mirrors whisper futures best left unseen, and the line between predator and protector blurs. Together, they must learn to fight the wildness inside them - or be torn apart by it.

Marked By Ruin
The Dark Forest does not forgive. It swallows the strong, breaks the weak, and buries its secrets beneath roots older than empires. Aconite was never meant to survive it. Mortal. Breakable. Reckless. Yet when she stumbles across a world carved of shadows and ruin, she refuses to bow. Her laughter rings where screams should echo, her defiance burns where others beg for mercy. And Azazel, the fallen king who rules these depths, cannot look away. Crowned in blood-shards and haunted by centuries of loss, Azazel is a husk of what he once was - until Aconite tears into his solitude with sharp teeth and sharper will. What begins as a clash between predator and prey twists into something far more dangerous: a bond that defies the forest itself. But shadows whisper. Old betrayals stir. And both king and shifter will learn that surviving each other is only the beginning.Complete

Wolf's Wife (Monstrous Hearts #1)
