Magic is dangerous. Bound magic is deadly.

Left vulnerable to relentless witch hunters, Ameris will go any length to unbind her magic. Even bargain with Xander, the dangerously attractive fae heir. Caught in a whirlwind of ambition and lust, Ameris agrees to save him in exchange for learning fae magic.

Allies are scarce. Trust is a luxury.

With the witch hunters closing in, Ameris and Xander enact a blood bond, transporting them to the fae kingdom of Elysium. In a world torn by ancient vendettas and ruled by the shadow king, Oberon, Ameris discovers her unbound magic may be key to the throne.

Unbound & used for her power.

Xander will use any tool in his quest to rule - including the sexual tension between them, magnified by their blood bond. Oberon will do whatever it takes to keep the throne and make Ameris his. And he's not afraid to play dirty to win.

The throne is the prize. Lust is the game.

Captured by Oberon, Ameris is seduced by the very darkness she's warned about. Torn between the intoxicating allure of Oberon's shadow magic and her intense bond with Xander, Ameris is left with no choice:

Make her claim. Or be bound by blood & shadow.
