Bloodbond Beasts

Some bonds are stronger than blood.
Some beasts were never meant to be tamed.

In the fractured kingdom of Valdaryn, a rare few are born Bonded-their souls tied to a single animal somewhere in the world. If the beast suffers, they suffer. If one dies... both do.

Elara Thorne has spent her life hiding the truth: she is bound to Stormgrave, a powerful blue roan stallion with a wildness no rider has ever been able to break. Together they have survived the wilderness, the hunters, and the king's soldiers who capture Bonded animals to control their human counterparts.

But when the crown sends its most feared assassin after her, hiding is no longer an option.

Creed Morvain is bound to Nyx, a shadow wolf who moves like darkness itself. Ruthless and loyal to the throne, Creed has hunted countless Bonded before. Killing Elara should be just another mission.

Until their animals recognize each other.

Until the bond between them begins to awaken something deeper.

As a dark force stirs beneath the kingdom and the crown's true intentions come to light, Elara and Creed must decide what matters more-duty, survival... or the dangerous connection growing between them.

Because in a world where souls are chained to beasts, love may be the most dangerous bond of all.
