The Thornbound Mistress (Thornbound Chronicles Book 1)

When Yessenia Oligarth receives a letter from her father who has been missing for months, she does not hesitate to answer the call to meet him in the Capital of Jericho. She is the only daughter and heir to the House of Oligarth. So, when she arrives alongside her blood bounded six beast-kin servants... she is surprised to find out- her father is dead. She had been tricked by her uncle Malrec and framed for the murder alongside her snake-kin companion. When thrown into a dungeon awaiting trial she is rescued by her wolf-kin, Sigurd, who is attacked in a fit of rage by the Lady of Thorns. He leads her to her death murdered by her own beast-kin servants who promptly die alongside her as her final breath is taken.

A bright light brings her back awake months prior before the coming winter of the previous events- and all of her six-beast kin are alive. She decides she must change, and acknowledge her childhood trauma before her grief, anger, and reactive responses repeat the timeline of the past. Yessenia attempts to atone for her behavior with the beast-kin who have no trust alongside her in order to find the truth out about her father and keep them alive.

Enjoy a dark fantasy plot, with swords, shields, blood, and a tad of romance. You may have heard similar stories like this before- but none will have you turning pages the way the world of Jericho will as you read this growing tale of betrayal, remorse, healing, and family.
