When the Shadows Bound Fate
Not yet published
Expected 31 Dec 25He came wrapped in shadow and ruin, and I let him in—because damnation in his arms felt holier than any heaven I’d ever known.
Born of spring and bound by fate Andraste has spent her life under her mother’s protection, a goddess who once kept the Morai, in check. But when her mother dies, that balance shatters. The Morai move swiftly, offering Andraste as a prize to the Thrundul, sealing her fate in a marriage of control. Only Dhallios, the god of tricks, is permitted to court her.
Yet Andraste’s heart is drawn elsewhere—to the mysterious Lord Death, the one everyone calls The Butcher in Black. In
the darkness, she finds not fear, but freedom. In his shadows, she sees not an end, but a beginning. Within the darkness of the Underworld, she is not met with chains, but freedom and with him at her side, she will carve a kingdom
from the bones of those who seek to rule her.
But the gods do not give up their playthings so easily. The Morai weave unseen threads, and betrayal waits in the silence between heartbeats. As Andraste and Gaelyn forge a new realm for the forsaken and the lost, one question lingers—when gods wage war, can love truly defy destiny?
Perfect for fans of Hades and Persephone retellings, From Blood and Ash, The Bone Season.

“A Darkly Enchanting Tale of Love and Defiance”
From the very first line, I was completely captivated. Andraste’s journey, from a sheltered daughter of a goddess to a woman who dares to defy destiny, feels both fierce and heartbreakingly human. Her connection with Lord Death, the “Butcher in Black,” crackles with danger and passion, the kind of love that feels fated and forbidden all at once.
The world is vivid, the writing lush, and every page thrums with tension and beauty. It’s a story of power, freedom, and a love that dares to challenge the gods themselves. Fans of Hades and Persephone or From Blood and Ash will fall in love with this darkly beautiful tale.
