Bound by Blood and Fate
“In a world on the brink of ruin, where ancient magic and prophecy intertwine, two fated souls find themselves bound together-by blood, by destiny, and by the relentless pull of forces beyond their control. Kael is a deadly assassin, cursed by an ancient relic that feeds on his soul, turning him into a weapon of destruction. Cold, ruthless, and feared by all, he longs for freedom from the dark magic that enslaves him. But the deeper he sinks into the shadows, the more impossible escape becomes-until he crosses paths with Elara. Elara is a healer, trained in the art of forbidden blood magic, a gift that demands her own pain as a price. Compassionate yet fierce, she risks everything to save those in need. From the moment she meets Kael, she sees past the assassin's icy exterior to the man buried beneath-wounded, suffering, yet still fighting. She vows to help him, no matter the cost. But fate is cruel. Their souls are bound by an incomplete prophecy, an unstable bond that ties their fates together in ways neither fully understands. As the crumbling empire spirals into chaos, Kael and Elara are hunted by enemies who seek the power they wield-by those who wish to control them, and those who wish to see them destroyed. With war looming and the darkness within Kael threatening to consume him, they must embark on a perilous journey to break the curse before it's too late. But the deeper their connection grows, the stronger the bond becomes, forcing them to confront a truth neither of them can deny: Their love is both their salvation and their doom. A tale of love, destiny, and the battle for one's soul, Bound by Blood and Fate is a sweeping romantasy filled with forbidden magic, high-stakes tension, slow-burning passion, and an assassin and healer who must defy fate itself to find freedom-together.”
