Bound By Shadows by Kristin Cast

From the bestselling authors Kristin Cast and Gina L Maxwell, Bound by Shadows is a gripping dark romance where desire meets danger and two souls bound by destiny find a love that transcends the shadows. This novella takes place in the Towerfall universe.

A night of wine and witchcraft spirals into a nightmare when Elara is pulled into the dangerous realm of Towerfall, where she’s auctioned off to a dark, seductive stranger with a thirst for vengeance.
Ronan is ruthless, his rugged exterior shielding a heart hardened by betrayal and consumed by a relentless quest for revenge. In his world, love is a weakness—until Elara strikes a deal that ignites a fire within him he can’t control.
She’ll help him destroy the woman who tore apart his family, and in return, he’ll guide her back home. But under Ronan’s intense training, Elara becomes more than just a pawn in his deadly game—she’s an unwilling partner.

As Ronan hunts the woman who shattered his family, the fiery tension between him and Elara grows, pulling them together even as it threatens to tear them apart.
Will Elara and Ronan’s love be their salvation—or will they forever be bound by shadows?
