The BloodBound Heir

The story of a woman who risks everything to save a friend, and the story of the man she forgot who's still trying to save her~

Lady Daelyn LeMont is many things, but a Bloodbound Mage is not one of them.

Barely tolerated by her father, the duke, for her failings, yet feared by the rest of the court as if she didn’t have them, she’s spent most of her life unwelcomed. With no marriage prospects on the horizon, she was content to remain unwed—until her only friend and lady’s maid, Alexia, is sold to walk the Bridal Path in two weeks.

Refusing to be parted from the one person who made life bearable, Daelyn is willing to risk treason in order to take her off of the path, including robbing the empire of its tithe.

As if it wasn’t hard enough to plan their escape, it’s only further complicated by her father’s return to Astalia, and his Eidolon, Caspian, who seems to know far more than he ever lets on.

When rumors begin to circulate about the unexpected disappearance of the man whose blood she last touched, Daelyn begins to suspect that she might have come into the magic late. If she is Bloodbound, she can not only compel Alexia off of the path, she can compel anyone who would get in their way too.

But there’s more at stake than losing her friend if she fails, and blood mages aren’t known for their kindness.
