When the Fates bind you to a hero, destiny isn't always what you imagined.
Alisanthia has spent twenty lifetimes preparing for the moment the Fates would bind her to a mortal hero. She expects a shining champion-instead, she arrives in a field of blood and finds Favian: scarred, stubborn, and adamant he wants nothing to do with gods. Bound by a golden string that makes her power his, Alisanthia must remain at his side whether he likes it or not.
Thrown into a cramped tree-home, and forced to live without her own magic, she sets out to do the impossible: convince the reluctant, wounded man to accept what's been given to him-and perhaps, along the way, teach him how to be loved.
Part gentle slow-burn, part mythic road to healing, Bound to a Reluctant Hero asks whether fate is a chain or a chance to choose who we become.
