The Bound Forge: Heirs to Memory
He never asked to shape the world. She never knew she already was.
Mallory grew up learning to forge more than metal. As an apprentice to a Taie-one of the few spirit-smiths-he's trained to craft relics that protect lives and hold power. His bond with Codex, a mysterious spirit, sets him apart even among the gifted.
But when a quiet girl named Laiyla enters his life, nothing stays simple. She doesn't know why she's drawn to places she's never seen or why people react to her like a spark in dry grass. She only knows that something is wrong-and that Mallory might be the only one who she trusts to help her.
As an ancient forces begin to stir and long-lost memories start returning, Mallory and Laiyla are pulled into a world of elemental realms, hidden truths, and choices that will change everything.
The Bound Forge is the start of a powerful coming-of-age fantasy series about friendship, memory, and what it means to choose your own path-even when the world has other plans.
