To Shatter Bonds

They say guardians and vampires once lived together in harmony.

But history is written by the victors…

When Aurelia is taken by Alain, the most powerful vampire in the region, her life is bound to the whims of a master she cannot trust—and a prophecy she cannot unravel. The guardians, sworn to protect her kind, live in silence and servitude. No one will come to save her.

No one except Theo.

But Theo is no savior. He’s a vampire bound to Alain by chains more cruel than blood—his power held hostage in a vial he may never reclaim. Assigned to guard Aurelia, he is both prisoner and warden…and the only one who makes her feel safe.

As Aurelia fights to understand the truth buried in ancient scrolls and divine warnings, Theo is forced to choose between survival and rebellion, between protecting Aurelia and breaking the curse that has chained him for centuries.

They both want freedom, but Aurelia doesn’t know who he’s fighting for—her, the prophecy, or himself.

And the person Aurelia chooses to trust?

May be the one who breaks her.
