BLOODBOUND TO THE SHADOW PRINCE

He was born to command the shadows. She was never meant to share his darkness.

Nessa Grey has spent her life healing others. She never expected that saving one dying man would bind her to a prince feared by an entire kingdom.

Dorian, the Shadow Prince of Veyra, carries a dangerous inheritance. His shadow magic is powerful, ancient, and slowly consuming the very humanity he fights to protect. To the kingdom, he is a monster waiting to emerge.

To Nessa, he is a wounded man who has spent his life learning how not to feel.

When she uses her healing magic to save him, the wound passes from his body into hers-and something far more dangerous takes its place.

A bond.

Now they can feel each other's pain, fear, and emotions. Neither can escape the other, and the closer they grow, the more they risk losing themselves to a connection neither fully understands.

But the bond has drawn the attention of people who would rather see the Shadow Prince destroyed.

Within the walls of Highcliff, a king is dying, a chancellor is hiding deadly secrets, and enemies are gathering around the throne. Beyond the kingdom's borders lies the Shadowmarch, a haunted wasteland where the remnants of an ancient horror still wait.

As Nessa and Dorian uncover the truth behind the royal family's past, they discover that their connection may be the key to stopping an evil that has been sleeping for three hundred years.

But the prince's magic comes at a terrible cost. Every time he calls upon the darkness, it threatens to hollow him out, leaving behind something cold and unrecognizable.

And if he falls too far, Nessa may be the only person who can bring him back.

She was never supposed to love him.
