Shadow Bound

Essie thought juggling college life, strained family relationships, and a secret magical destiny was enough of a challenge. But when a rogue sect of witch hunters resurfaces with a deadly weapon—a power capable of turning their hatred into something far more dangerous—Essie finds herself thrust into a battle that will test her limits and redefine her purpose.

Blakely, the new guy with a fractured past, is the last person Essie expects to ally with, especially when his family has sworn to eliminate witches like her. But when their worlds collide in a shadowy realm between life and death, they must trust each other to face a foe neither of them fully understands. For Essie, it’s not just about survival—it's about protecting the fragile line between magic and humanity.

As dark secrets unravel, Essie learns there’s more to her power than she ever imagined—power that makes her both a target and a threat. Blakely struggles with his own demons, torn between loyalty to his family and his growing connection to the witch he’s been taught to hate. Together, they must confront betrayal, sacrifice, and truths that could destroy them both.

In this gripping tale of love, loyalty, and redemption, Shadow Bound dives into the heart of what it means to fight for who you are—even when the world demands you become something else.

Perfect for fans of Shadowhunters and Serpent & Dove, this dark fantasy will leave you questioning who the real monsters are.
