Bound By The Mark

"You were never meant to touch me," Nyla hissed, the mark on her skin burning like a curse. "It was Ka’el’s right."



"Then let him take it back—if he dares," Theron replied coldly, his eyes gleaming with defiance.



“Do you have any idea what you’ve done? “You have ruined all of us.” She sobbed.



“No,” he said. “I have bent fate. And now I’ll rewrite it.”

Once every hundred years, beneath the light of the Blue Moon, the gods of Myrenn descend to choose their fated Vessel—an ancient soul-binding rite that crowns the next ruler of the realms.



Ka’el, god of light and rightful heir, was meant to mark Nyla—a quiet healer from a forgotten bloodline.



But in a single, brutal moment, his younger brother Theron stole that right. Fierce, unrelenting, and tired of being overshadowed, he forced the bond meant for another.



Now Nyla is bound to the wrong god.



The mark sears her soul. The bond fractures the realms. And as visions of two ruined futures haunt her steps, Nyla becomes the battleground for a war far older than she is prepared for hi

Because the greatest threat isn’t the gods.

It’s what happens when fate is defied—

…and desire is mistaken for destiny.
