Shadow Bound Hearts
SHADOW BOUND HEARTS
Elara always believed her life was ordinary—quiet streets, familiar routines, and a future untouched by magic or monsters.
That illusion shatters the night her blood awakens.
Cornered in the streets of Valenport by ruthless vampire hunters, Elara watches in horror as her own blood defies nature—healing her wounds, bending shadows, and marking her as something no longer human.
“Blood of the Eclipse,” one of them breathes.
“Confirmed.”
She runs—but destiny finds her faster.
From the darkness steps Kael, a feared vampire warrior bound to shadow by a centuries-old curse. With eyes glowing crimson and power the night itself seems to obey, he tears through her hunters with terrifying precision.
“Leave,” he commands.
The city listens.
Kael saves Elara’s life—but not her old world.
“If you stay here, you will be dead before dawn,” he tells her.
“And if I go with you?” she asks.
His answer is a warning, not a promise:
“Then your blood may change the fate of this world.”
Hunted by humans and monsters alike, Elara is forced to trust the one being she should fear most. As they flee through cursed forests and shadowed lands, her body begins to change—her senses sharpen, her strength grows, and her blood remembers a legacy long buried.
But Elara’s power comes at a cost.
Kael’s curse feeds on chaos and blood, and every time Elara loses control, he is pulled closer to becoming the monster he fights so hard not to be.
“You are changing faster than you should,” Kael warns.
“And if I lose control again?” Elara asks quietly.
“I will stop you,” he answers. “No matter the cost.”
As ancient forces awaken and whispers of war spread between the living and the undead, Elara must decide who—and what—she is willing to become.
Because in a world ruled by shadow, love may be the most dangerous power of all.
