When Ella's oldest friend is murdered in front of her and she is dragged into the depths of the Forbidden Forest, she expects to die in the dark. What she doesn't expect is him - a feral, solitary hunter named Katt who has survived alone in those trees for twenty years, the last survivor of a village the same cult burnt to the ground.
The Birsha - a blood-magic cult whose leaders carry scales on their skin and hunger in their eyes - branded her, caged her, and abused her.
Escaping is only the beginning. Because the forest is their territory too, and the cult is growing.
Binding Light is a dark fantasy about two broken people finding each other in the worst possible place - and the question of whether survival is enough, or if two people with nothing left to lose might just be the ones to take the forest back.
