The Shadow Binder's Echo - Romance Fantasy

Her touch is a curse that steals memories. His is a darkness that consumes worlds.

Elara has spent her life in sterile solitude, hiding a power that rips away the very identity of anyone she touches. She is a ghost in her own life, desperate for a connection she can never have.

Kaelen is the lord of a dying realm of shadow, a nine-hundred-year-old king bound to an entity that is devouring his soul one memory at a time. He is ruthless, desperate, and running out of time.

When he discovers Elara is the one person who can restore his fading past, he rips her from her world and imprisons her in his dark, gothic keep. He sees a tool. She sees a monster. But the searing hatred that sparks between them hides a dangerous, undeniable fire.

Forced to delve into the mind of her captor, Elara uncovers a tragic history that threatens to shatter his monstrous facade. With an ancient evil stirring and enemies from both their worlds closing in, Elara must decide if saving the man is worth embracing the darkness… and losing herself completely.

Fans of Fourth Wing, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and dark romantasy with high stakes will devour this story of a tormented shadow lord and the woman who is his only salvation.
