BOUND BY BLOOD AND FATE

Some truths are buried too deep to stay hidden forever.Raine Roghnaithe has always known two things-she was never meant to live and die in her small village, and turning eighteen means she can finally break free from the expectations that have bound her since birth. Her birthday should be a simple milestone, celebrated with family and far too much cake. Instead, it becomes the first step into a world she was never meant to see.Beyond the wall of trees she’s always known lies a realm woven with shadows and secrets, where betrayal cuts deep and every promise demands a price. Hunted by forces she can’t yet understand, Raine must decide who to become-the obedient daughter her village raised, or the warrior she has always longed to be.In a world where loyalty is fleeting and family ties are tangled in lies, survival will demand more than strength. It will demand sacrifice. And when the choice comes, she’ll have to ask herself-What would you do to protect the ones you love?Now, she carries the answer like a blade in her hand. Anything.
