A realm fading with magic.

A princess bound by duty.

A stranger cloaked in secrets.

On the eve of her coronation, Princess Seraphina faces a crumbling kingdom. The Aether—once the realm's source of power and life—is vanishing, leaving behind fear, unrest, and growing shadows.

Then Cassius arrives.

A mysterious outsider with a hidden past, Cassius carries a dangerous truth: the Aether isn't lost—it's been concealed. And someone has gone to great lengths to keep it that way.

Drawn into a web of forgotten pacts and buried history, Seraphina must uncover secrets that challenge everything she believed about her bloodline, her kingdom, and herself.

As tension sparks between them and ancient forces stir beneath the surface, the line between duty and desire begins to blur. But time is running out, and the deeper they dig, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

Bound by Shadow is a tale of courage, sacrifice, and forbidden connection—a story where light and darkness dance, and every choice shapes the fate of a kingdom.
