Bound to Thoren

She thought the forest had taken everything from her. Until it gave her him.

When Havie Povonopf is chosen as Acguas offering, she expects death, or worse. Instead, she is delivered into the heart of the forest and into the arms of a guardian who is anything but human.

Thoren, bound to the ancient rites of Lamanthia Grove, awakens not just to the ritual but to her. As a deep power stirs beneath the lands roots, Havie is drawn into a world of living shadows, forgotten portals, and an impossible bond that pulses through her veins.

But not all ancient guardians wish her to survive.

With a war stirring between the old powers and the wild magic of the forest, Havie must decide whether to embrace the bond that could claim her, or rise as something more.

For readers who crave fated mates, forest gods, mythic romance, and atmospheric worldbuilding, Bound to Thoren is a slow-burning, emotionally rich novella perfect for fans of fae fantasy with a sensual edge.
