Ravena has spent her life running. Hiding from monsters, from the darkness inside her, and from the Vampire King who's wanted her since birth. When she saves a wounded dragon thought to be extinct, everything changes. Enemies she's spent years evading are closing in, some wanting her dead, others desperate to control her.
Three vampire hunters crash into her life. Ronan, the gentle one who wants to heal her heart. Kieran, tortured and convinced he doesn't deserve love. Darian, who swears he hates her but can't stop thinking about her. Then there's Malrik, a blood mage assassin as dangerous as he is obsessive.
With the Vampire King closing in, Ravena realises he's not the only one who wants her, and now, everyone she cares about is in danger. As war brews and buried truths rise from the ashes, Ravena must keep running or embrace the darkness inside her. Because some destinies aren't chosen. They're forged in fire and written in blood.
Autumn is a British author, wife, and mother who balances everyday life with a lifelong love of reading. Powered by plenty of coffee and the occasional Friday-night wine, she writes in the quiet hours, when the house settles, and ideas come alive.
She loves fantasy, enjoys a touch of dark romance, and has a particular soft spot for why-choose stories, where a heroine is adored by more than one man.
Autumn is passionate about creating rich worlds and characters readers can connect with, offering stories that feel like an escape from the real world.
I had the privilege of being in Autumns Alpha team and I couldn’t be more proud of her, I adore her as a person and her writing is INCRED. She really poured her heart & soul into this book and it really shows. A dark emotional romance with high stakes, tension, morally grey men, loss and reclamation. You will not be disappointed. This modern fantasy will deliver all you could ask for and more, especially if cupcakes are your thing😉 IFYKYK.
I have to start by saying thank you to Autumn and her team for letting me read this early as an ARC reader … I am so incredibly grateful (BUT I CANT SPEAK TO ANYONE ABOUT THIS BOOK YET AND THAT FEELS IMPOSSIBLE!!)
Girls, this is the most perfect balance between fantasy and spice; the world building is just the right amount of easy to follow, yet there’s a structure to the world that feels right ✨
The spice is SPICY in the most delicious way… 🥰🥰 Yet it didn’t take away from the story underneath it all
I refuse to give too much away, but if you’re into witches, vampires, and a romance where everyone’s in love with her and she doesn’t have to choose?!?!?! this is for you!!💜
Found family ✔️ Spice with a bunch of different kinks ✔️ Moody dragon ✔️ Secret history ✔️
P.s the ending broke me and i need the sequel immediately
Debut book from Autumn Fielding, Fury of the Bound is an amazing Romantacy why why choose that will keep you in the clutches page by page until the very end ending on the most delicious cliff hanger
Darian, our delicious poor tortured soul, Ronan the helpless romantic, Malrik slightly deranged bad boy but oh so delicious and Kieran, our lost man take us on a deliciously dark and steamy page turning ride with our fierce FMC Ravena

Thank you so much to Autumn for letting me be on her ARC team and inviting me into Velmore, I’m genuinely so grateful.
I loved how this book lets you really get to know the characters. By the time I was a few chapters in, I cared for them so deeply. Ronan, my boy… you have my whole heart. The character work is absolutely incredible, and it’s one of the biggest strengths of the story.
The worldbuilding is also fantastic, rich, layered, and easy to sink into. I’ll be honest, the beginning took me a minute to follow, but once things kicked off I was fully in there and didn’t want to stop reading.
The ending was great, and now I’m counting down until we get more. A brilliant read and such a strong instalment! For Autumns first book it is truly an amazing start, I can’t wait to return to Velmore again!
I am one of the LUCKY souls who got to read an ARC of this book and let me just say - this is INCREDIBLE. The found family trope is executed perfectly, the characters have so much depth, complexity and growth and the world building is exceptional. If you are a lover of a fierce FMC, multiple love interests and an expansive fantasy world - this is for you! Highly recommend 💖

First and foremost thank you so much for allowing me to read this wonderful ARC Autumn. It’s been a minute for some romantasy in my life and this was the perfect fix.
ARC Review:
What a ride! I love a good why-choose romance, and this one really delivered. There’s plenty of insta-lust that slowly melts into real love, and the spice kicks in early — like, 25% early. Ayo.
The found-family element is incredibly heartwarming, and every character has their own baggage to unpack, making their dynamic even richer as they learn to navigate everything together. The ending left me hanging off a cliff, so I’m already excited for the next installment.

I need book 2 instantly! Wow wow wow! This book had me intrigued from the very first chapter. I loved the world building & how you could actually imagine how the characters looked thanks to the descriptions. I loved the why choose aspect of the book & the flashes into the past included. There were different characters introduced throughout the book & you saw their development as the book went on. Ravena is a strong FMC & I like how she can take care of herself perfectly fine. Can't wait to read more!
I had the absolute privilege of alpha reading Fury of the Bound and let me tell you the romantasy fans are going to eat this up! Autumn is not only a beautiful human but an absolutely amazing author. Her writing is top tier and I will scream about this book forever. This book has it all from vivid world building to character chemistry and a plot that has you questioning everything and you can’t put it down. The tropes you can count on -why choose -high spice -forbidden love -politics
This was soooo good! I love a good Romantasy every now and then and I don't think another can top this one.
This book had it all and I liked how detailed everything was. I can't even begin to imagine how amazing it would be to have a dragon as your familiar. 🐉
Malrik was definitely an interesting character and I liked him for Ravena. Ronan is so sweet and also equally perfect for her and I love his nickname for her, "Cherry".
I'm definitely ready for more moments with Kieran, Darian and Ravena and I'm ready to see what happens with Vespera.
I'm definitely excited for the next book!
I'm glad I discovered this author because it's an amazing debut read!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I had the best HONOR of alpha reading Fury Of The Bound💓💓
This book had me hooked from start to finish!! It has drawn me into Ravena's life and made me feel all the emotions💓 The spice is just top notch🥵🥵🥵 The emotion that the author put into this book you can really feel it.
Loved the found family trope in this book💓
This book is absolutely amazing!!
I'm so proud of you Autumn!! You are smashing it and can't wait for all your future reads💓
Wow! For my first fantasy I'm so glad it was this book. Well written, had me hooked on every page! The spice 🥵. The ending though, be prepared for every emotion.
Hunted her whole life, Ravena has only ever known how to run until saving a dragon pulls her into a destiny she never asked for. Now four powerful men crash into her world, each dangerous, each drawn to her, and each tied to the secrets she’s been running from. With the Vampire King closing in and war rising from the shadows, Ravena must decide: keep running… or embrace the darkness inside her. Some destinies are forged in fire and written in blood.
If slow burn romances aren’t your thing and you love men who are dangerously obsessed with the FMC the kind who would burn the world to protect her then this book is absolutely for you. Fast paced, addictive, and packed with secrets, love, and delicious hatred, this romantasy throws you into magical lands, a gripping plot, and dark truths waiting to be uncovered. It’s one of those reads you cannot put down total page turner vibes. This book is a why choose romance and I fully enjoyed that aspect of it! But I have to say malriks crazy ass is my favourite of the four men.
So so so thankful this Thanksgiving to have gotten to ARC read this book! However, I NEEDED BOOK TWO YESTERDAY!!! this book was everything and more and I know there is still some more “choosing” or lack of choosing to come once these boys get their heads out of their rears and realize they aren’t unlovable. The balance between spice and world building/ world conflict was just perfect!!
Velmore is in for a big surprise when Raven becomes all she can be with her boys by her side.
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 3.5 stars A solid, spicy, why-choose romantasy with enough tension, magic, and chaos to keep me turning pages — even if I didn’t fall fully in love with the story. This book gives: 🔥 why-choose / reverse harem tension 🔮 cursed magic + dangerous world 👑 multiple MMCs with distinct vibes (some morally gray, some just hot) 💋 plenty of spice ⚔️ a heroine who keeps getting pulled deeper into fate, prophecy, and desire 📚 pacing that makes it really easy to binge There were moments that grabbed me, others that didn’t land as deeply, but overall? I was engaged. I had fun. And I’ll probably read book two because the setup has potential and I’m genuinely curious where the chaos is headed. A good pick if you love: ✨ found family + harem dynamics ✨ fast-paced romantasy ✨ spice-forward fantasy worlds ✨ morally questionable men who absolutely need therapy Not an obsession read for me, but definitely enjoyable.
This is a debut fantasy novel and while it needs a really good edit/proof read, there’s a lot of potential. The characters are nice and distinct, the relationships develop fairly consistently, and the world building is good (if confusing - it’s a strange mix of modern things like jean, coffee makers and phones in a fantasy world with castles, dungeons and huts in a forest).
The story builds nicely and kept my attention. There’s plenty of unanswered questions and a significant cliffhanger at the end. I will definitely keep reading because I can’t leave characters in mortal peril.
