BLOODBOUND

BLOODBOUND

Elara Veyne has spent her life hiding one dangerous secret: her blood can heal.

Orin-the strange old healer who found her alone in the woods and raised her as his own-taught her exactly one rule about the magic running through her veins:

Never let anyone see you bleed if you can help it. Blood tells stories. Some stories are safer unread.

Elara listened.

Mostly.

Then there's Cassian Thorne.

The king's feared commander is infuriating, arrogant, dangerously observant-and cursed. Black veins crawl beneath his skin, pain has been his constant companion for nearly a decade, and the touch of another person is agony.

Except hers.

When Elara discovers that her blood can quiet the curse that should be slowly killing him, the secrets Orin spent a lifetime burying begin clawing their way to the surface.

An ambush. A forgotten fortress. Soldiers who should have died centuries ago. A covenant written in blood.

And somehow, Elara and Cassian are at the center of all of it.

The closer they become, the stronger the magic between them grows-and soon Elara can no longer tell where ancient power ends and their own choices begin.

Because someone has been waiting for the Blood and the Blade to find each other again.

And this time, they intend to finish what Blackmere started.

A dark fantasy romance about blood magic, ancient curses, buried identities, dangerous secrets, found family, and two stubborn people determined to choose each other-even when destiny thinks it already has.

Some bonds are forged by magic.

Theirs will have to survive it.
