Lovers of Night and Day
Aelthiriel was born to rule the elven kingdom of Letharia—until the night her stepmother murdered her father, stole the throne, and condemned her to a living nightmare. By day, she is flesh and blood. By night, she becomes a powerless shadow, unable to fight, unable to flee, and hunted relentlessly by assassins sworn to erase her existence.
Raelion was once a revered wizard of the Guild—until betrayal shattered everything. Cursed by the man he once called brother, Raelion is blinded by sunlight and hunted by the Amaleks, the deadliest trackers alive. Each dawn leaves him vulnerable. Each night brings bloodshed.
When their paths collide, survival binds them together.
Aelthiriel needs the Moonlight Crystal to reclaim her body, her power, and her throne. Raelion needs the same artifact to break his curse and confront the enemy who will never stop hunting him.
Forced into a fragile alliance, they become each other’s lifeline—she his eyes by day, he her protector by night. As monsters rise, enemies close in, and kingdoms burn, trust deepens into something far more dangerous: love.
But in a world built on betrayal and blood, love demands sacrifice.
When the time comes to choose who will be saved…
Will they choose power, vengeance—or each other?
Bound By Curse and Shadow is a sweeping fantasy romance of forbidden magic, slow-burn love, and the impossible choices that decide the fate of kingdoms.
