Bound: A Dark Fantasy Romance (The Bound Fates Series Book 1)

Three hundred thirty-three years ago, Oak Hill was plunged into chaos. Daemonic forces threatened to consume the oak grove held sacred by the Fae. When all was thought lost, a final sacrifice was made that vanquished friend and foe alike. The Fae Queen, Medb, left the grove under Blackthorn protection, and the town was renamed. In Oak Haven, the Great War is now just a chapter in history books. When Viscountess Milly Blackthorn discovers her late husband’s misguided scheme to make his friends rich, she’s compelled to uncover the mysteries of The Plan. As she digs deeper, she unearths secrets interwoven more intricately than the thorny blackthorn hedges surrounding her estate. Everything she knew about her husband, her closest allies, and even herself was a web of lies. Charmingly handsome and enigmatic Rhys works as a Groom in Blackthorn Manor’s stables. His horsemanship is unmatched, but his judgment is proven suspect by a drunken tryst with a mysterious songstress. Given the choice between a slow descent into lustful madness and snitching for the Fae Queen, he picks the path he thinks will ensure a quicker death. Can Milly embrace her birthright and the responsibility that comes with it to save Oak Haven? Can Rhys free himself from a deal with the Fae or is he doomed to spout horrible rhymes forever? Will they overcome the forces working against them to find a love worth fighting for? Embark on a journey of magic, romance, and courage where passion ignites amidst nefarious peril. View Less
