Bound to Shadows

An Epic Dark Romantasy with Why Choose, Secret Pregnancy, and Fated Bonds

By: Kirst N. Carpenter

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

To save the realms, they need her Light. To claim it, they’ll have to endure her fire.

For two hundred years, Helyria and her daughter, Myira, were harvested for their power. Imprisoned by a tyranny bent on erasing the sun, Helyria survived the darkness by shielding her child—a Weaver of the very magic her captors used to fuel their cruelty.

But now, Helyria is hiding a bitter secret: a dangerous pregnancy that is slowly draining her life force.

When her cage is shattered, she is claimed by Kaziel, a cold strategist, and Ya’varen, a primordial demon. Two warring souls forced into a single body. They didn’t come for mercy. They came for a weapon.

Helyria is willing to wither away in silence to buy Myira’s safety, believing that if the Light Weaver dies, the hunters' trail dies with her. But every day she finds unexpected solace in the men who claimed her, drawn by an invisible thread that begs her to stay.

Caught between the men who claim to be her protectors and a body that is failing her, can Helyria be the savior the realm demands—or will her light consume everyone she loves?
