When borderlands tracker Seraphina Voss takes a straightforward retrieval job, she follows every wrong instinct in exactly the right direction — and ends up with a fae prince's shadow magic sealed around her wrist and her blood-print on a contract she never agreed to sign. Now she belongs to the Obsidian Court. Caelindor, the last Shadow Prince of the Unseelie realm, has been holding his dying Court together for a century — alone. He needs Seraphina's rare wolf-blood lineage to seal a fracture in the realm's magical foundation before it tears everything apart. He watched her for eight months. He calculated the odds. He arranged the trap rather than ask, because he knew she'd say no. He was right. He should have asked anyway. What Caelindor didn't calculate: the shadow-wolf who has never chosen anyone choosing her on sight. The archive work that pulls them into something neither of them planned for. The kiss in a dying forest that neither of them takes back. And the slow, specific unraveling of every wall she's built since she was fourteen years old and learned that loving things more powerful than yourself ends in removal. The realm needs a soul-bond. The magic requires her choice — fully, freely, eyes open. Seraphina Voss doesn't do anything without running the accounting first. Bound to My Shadow Prince is a standalone dark fae paranormal romance featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, slow-burn emotional depth, a morally grey fae prince who arranged a kidnapping and spent the next three weeks trying to earn the right to have asked instead, and a wolf-blood heroine who does the accounting on everything — including her own heart. Perfect for readers of Sarah J. Maas, Holly Black, and Grace Draven. If you love dark fae romance with slow-burn tension and an emotionally devastating HEA, start reading today.
