shadowbound

Lysandra, the last heir to the kingdom of Eldoria, has spent her life dreading her 21st birthday the day the royal curse takes hold. When the sun sets on her coming-of-age night, she begins to transform into a shadow beast, a fate long believed to be punishment from an ancient, forgotten god. The only way to break the curse is to complete an impossible trial: defeat the very god who cursed her bloodline.

Forced to flee her own kingdom before she loses herself to the darkness, Lysandra crosses paths with a masked warrior, a mysterious rogue with a curse of his own. Cursed to turn into a rat, he hides his identity and past, yet seems to know more about the royal family’s curse than he lets on. Bound by their shared fate, they embark on a dangerous journey through enchanted forests, lost cities, and a forgotten temple where the god slumbers.

But as Lysandra’s transformation worsens, she uncovers a devastating truth: the curse was never meant for her. Centuries ago, the first heir of her bloodline escaped their fate by transferring the curse onto their sibling, dooming every generation that followed. Now, Lysandra faces an impossible choice to undo the past and place the burden where it truly belongs, or embrace her destiny as the final heir and become the monster the world fears.

With time running out and the forgotten god stirring, she must decide: will she fight fate, or rewrite it forever?
