The Blood Bound Cage: A Dark Gothic Fantasy Romance

By Kora Dael

Nova Thorne was told she was a plague, a monster whose chaotic magic needed to be suffocated in iron. Gaslit and tortured by the capital's asylum, she believed her power was a madness that would burn the world.

Sent to the decaying, isolated Blood Bound Estate to die, Nova is placed under the control of Caspian Blackwood. Caspian is the lethal Warden of the North, a man who bound his soul to the cursed manor and wields a terrifying, all consuming void magic. He expects a broken prisoner. Instead, when Nova's raw kinetic fire collides with Caspian's freezing shadows, they don't destroy each other, they form a perfect, terrifying circuit. Caspian becomes the anchor to her sanity, and Nova becomes the heat that quiets his curse.

But the High Inquisitor hasn't forgotten them. When elite executioners breach the perimeter to silence Nova forever, the Warden and his prisoner must drop their masks. Nova must finally embrace the feral, destructive power she was taught to fear, and Caspian must risk the darkness inside him to protect her. If they fail, the capital will put her back in chains. But if they succeed, the monsters of the North will burn the empire to the ground.
