Publisher Description
"I know your secret."
Alex Caine is a martial artist fighting in illegal cage matches. His powerful secret weapon is an unnatural vision that allows him to see his opponents’ moves before they know their intentions themselves.
When enigmatic Englishman, Patrick Welby, shows Alex how to unleash a breathtaking realm of magic and power, Alex is drawn into a mind-bending adventure beyond his control.
And control is something Alex values above all else…
A cursed grimoire binds Alex to Uthentia, a chaotic Fey godling, who leads him towards chaos and murder, an urge Alex finds harder and harder to resist. Befriended by Silhouette, a monstrous Kin beauty, Alex sets out to recover the only things that will free him – the shards of the Darak. But that powerful stone also has the potential to unleash a catastrophe which could mean the end of the world as we know it.
Bound is dark urban fantasy at its best!
Book I of the Alex Caine series is "...a relentless whirlwind of magic, sex, and violence. Bound is a rollercoaster of gritty magic, evocative settings, and brutal action: a solid intro to a new urban fantasy series.” — Billy Burmester, Aurealis Magazine
“Alan Baxter delivers a heady mix of magic, monsters and bloody fights to the death. Nobody does kick-ass brutality like Baxter.” — Greig Beck, bestselling author of Beneath the Dark Ice and Dark Rising (Alex Hunter series)
Customer Reviews
Not your child’s Harry Potter
Not sure how Alan Baxter might feel about a comparison of Alex Caine to Harry Potter, but from the beginning Bound and Alex Caine reminded me of those HP stories. You know how Harry learns through a series of perilous trials just how strong he is? How big the bad guys are? How he grows and becomes what he’s destined to be? Yeah, Bound is all that but for us adult readers! Plus, Alan piles on the Mission Impossible action that we crave! I’m happy to find Alex Caine and will be following Alan Baxter wherever he goes. Bound is an older book, but I suspect I won’t be disappointed as I catch up!
