For thousands of years, the Shadowbinder has existed only as a warning-a being destined to unite Primordial Fire and Living Shadow.
Before Nyra Ashbourne was born, Aetherion, the God of Sight and Fate, shattered her soul to prevent a prophecy he believed would destroy every realm.
Twenty-eight years later, Nyra knows nothing of her true past. She only knows her nightmares are getting worse, impossible powers are awakening, and something inside her has always felt...missing.
Then an ancient relic awakens Kaira, a legendary nine-tailed spirit fox bound to Nyra since before birth, and she learns the truth.
Her soul wasn't lost.
It was scattered.
Its missing pieces live within three people fate is determined to bring back to her. Each connection restores a piece of Nyra-and brings her closer to awakening the legendary Soul Constellation.
But something else is awakening too.
Ancient monsters are escaping. Forgotten gods are stirring. And something in the darkness has finally realized the Shadowbinder survived.
Now Nyra must become whole without becoming the catastrophe the gods feared.
Because fate may write destiny-
but it can never command the choices of the heart.

PACK LEADER (BxB)
My world was turned upside down the day my mom died from an illness, forcing me to leave everything behind and move in with my aunt miles away. I've always been a grumpy, antisocial kid, but losing her made me even angrier at the world. When I ran into another student at my new school, I couldn't help but snap at him. I had no idea he was the intimidating, stoic Killian Reed. Moments after I snapped at him, he shoved me into the lockers, and I genuinely believed he was going to make my life hell. But then, unexpectedly, he's there to stop a couple of guys from assaulting me. At first, I think it's just a coincidence. Yet, as more trouble seems to follow me and he somehow always appears to save me, I begin to sense there's more to Killian-a secret tied to me. A secret that has to do with this town, and the people in it. *Please check out the chapter 'Before you read' for a list of TW*

His voice was low, dangerous... fraying at the edges. "Aurora," he said, "if you run from me again, I will chase you. And I will catch you. His hold tightened as if proving the point. "I will always catch you." Tears spilled down my cheeks. "You're scaring me," I whispered, voice shaking. His breath hitched-barely, but enough that I felt it. For a moment, just a moment, the iron in his grip softened. His hand slid from my waist to my wrist, holding firm but no longer crushing. Then his other arm locked around my upper body, strong enough that escape was impossible. "Aurora," he said, his voice rough, "you cannot run from a bond like this." I shook my head violently.
