This is not a quiet story. It moves like a camera. It breathes like a storm.
Bound by Echo is written to be seen as much as read— a cinematic prose novel built from motion, tension, and momentum.
When Ariya survives something she was never meant to, the world doesn’t slow down to let her recover.
Instead, she becomes visible.
Hunted. Tested. Pulled toward connections she doesn’t understand—and instincts that don’t belong to Earth.
This is a story about awakening, survival, and what happens when the universe marks you—and refuses to let go.
MEET THE CASTARIYA 20 years old. Survives with dark humor and stubborn refusal to break. Carries power she doesn’t understand and instincts that don’t belong to Earth. Learns very quickly that surviving is not the same as being safe.
ROWAN Best friend. Anchor. Constant problem. Too loud, too brave, too unwilling to disappear quietly. The kind of loyalty that gets you hunted alongside the wrong person.
MOCHI Void creature. Emotional support menace. Protective, judgmental, and aggressively ungovernable. Responds to danger with teeth, shadows, and zero remorse. Would absolutely make everything worse—and save everyone anyway.
