Godbound: The Mark of Desire

By A.L. Sinwhisper

When a forbidden mark ignites beneath Serene's skin, it doesn't grant her power.
It makes her a threat.

The world was built on balance - gods above, mortals below, hunger contained. But Serene is not part of that design. She is an omission. A fracture the system tried to hide.

And now it's watching her.

Kael was never meant to return. Bound in shadow and barely held together, he becomes both anchor and danger as ancient structures begin to fail. The more Serene learns to control the mark, the more the world recalibrates around her -and the more unstable everything becomes.

Because correcting imbalance has a cost.
And this time, the gods are not the ones paying it.

Godbound: The Mark of Desire is a dark romantasy about consequence, restraint, and the kind of power that does not ask for permission.

The story continues in Book II: Godbound: The Weight of Touch, available now.

Because once the mark awakens...
nothing remains untouched.
