Tethered (The Binding Chronicles Book 1)

Luna is sold into an arranged marriage to Sebastian, the Prince of Darkness, on her twenty-first birthday. She expects a typical arranged marriage, but the reality of being married to a vampire prince proves far different from what she anticipated. Sebastian has lived by Queen Marguerite's rules since the day he was Made, owing his existence to her. When she orders him to marry and Bind himself to Luna, a human from a neighboring kingdom, he complies but anticipates no emotional connection. When their Binding Ceremony goes wrong and they become magically Tethered, they are unable to leave each other's presence. They must learn to coexist or face death. The story combines arranged marriage, high fantasy, forced proximity, magical bindings, and vampire elements with world-building. The indie versions (ebooks and audio) are upper YA and low spice, while traditional print versions are adult with open door content. The book contains violence, language, and mature situations, recommended for ages sixteen and up. Tethered is Book 1 of The Binding Chronicles and shares a world with Of Earth and Flame and A Game of Love and Betrayal. It can be read independently or with The Ithenmyr Chronicles and The Choosing Chronicles.
