THE UNSTABLE PACT
A Cursed Witch. A Captive God. An Irrevocable Bond. For years, Lyra Blackwood has been slowly dying, tainted by the ancestral Ash Curse-a slow, miserable rot that has claimed her entire lineage. Desperate for a cure, she attempts the forbidden: a volatile ritual to harness a captured entity of pure power. Instead of a cure, she finds Kaelen, the devastatingly beautiful Lord of Shadow, and accidentally binds him to her very soul. - he shouldn't like it but to be free? or to actually fall in love? The pact should be simple: her command, his power. But Lyra quickly learns the horrifying truth: the curse is not a disease, but a centuries-old Seal maintaining Kaelen's prison. By binding him, she hasn't created a cure; she's created the perfect key to his absolute freedom. Now, Lyra must survive the mounting danger-the zealous Coven Hunter pursuing them, the total collapse of her moral world, and the volatile, icy hunger that flares every time she is forced to draw on Kaelen's essence. Trapped in a lethal, intimate journey across the magical world, Lyra and Kaelen are enemies fused by necessity. Every shared breath is a violation, every touch is an electrical surge of power and resentment. But as the ancient Seal weakens, Lyra must make a choice: honor her ancestors' sacrifice and die, sending Kaelen back to the abyss... ...or choose survival, claim the god of chaos as her own, and become the supreme power the world should truly fear. The battle isn't for the world. It's for her soul the one she wants-and the Shadow she's sworn to control.
Prequel: The Unbound - Awakening
Before she was the hunted, she was the heir. Aria was born with a crown on her head and a cage around her ribs. As the daughter of the Serpent House, her life was a blueprint of bloodlines and duty: Secure Nexus mates from within the House. Awaken the Gift buried in her bones. Preserve the legacy at any cost. But Aria was never made to follow. And fate doesn't care for tradition. Her heart already belonged to the one man she was forbidden to love - her brother's best friend. And when her Gift finally stirred, it wasn't the weapon her family had waited for. It was quiet. Unexpected. A power they barely acknowledged - and one she was never meant to wield. Torn between the life she was born into and the power awakening inside her, Aria makes a single, irreversible choice. One that fractures her family, shatters her destiny, and lights a fuse beneath everything she thought she understood. Rebellion is no longer a rumor. Enemies wear familiar faces. And the most dangerous secrets are the ones written in her own blood. This is not a love story. It's the story of what love ruins - and what rises from the wreckage. _______ What to Expect: Unbound - The Awakening is a why-choose prequel: Aria's heart won't be claimed by just one. 🔥 Smut? Yes - but not right away. This one burns slow and deep. 🖤 Expect tension, heartbreak, soft touches, sharp edges, and impossible choices. ⚠️ Not all of her Nexus mates appear in this book. But the storm begins here.Complete
