BOUND TO THE KING

Every forty-five years, the alignment of the stars Anggara and Mangala in Kabalon's sky throws the entire nation into turmoil. Queen Aiyo, Kabalon's protector, falls into a deep, unshakable slumber at their sight, leaving her vulnerable to the Black Kesakten. In desperation, King Ijaya is forced to seek the intervention of King Aesar, the feared king who once sought Ijaya's very life

Yet a deeper secret lies buried: an Aíma Bond between his daughter, Naladhipa, and King Aesar existed long before the princess was even born. The magicless princess refuses to be used as a "bargaining chip" for the king. But when darkness threatens to consume Kabalon, it is Naladhipa who must ultimately confront the Black Kesakten..
