Spellbound

Two hundred years after the fall of the long-lived Shikratee and their brutal reign, magic is outlawed, and its remnants are feared across the land of Kivara. But old powers and new love stir when a wounded stranger, Cash Carron, appears on Gia Bellafonte's doorstep seeking the witch's healing gift.

Triggered by a night of passion, an ancient curse ignites to bind Gia and Cash with a spell as powerful as it is perilous. When a Shikratee hunter discovers Gia and she reveals her magic to the village, she and Cash must flee into the forest with her faithful and sarcastic familiar in tow. Every step forward deepens their magical connection, and the bonds tighten their grip.

As the Shikratee rise once more, the spirits of Kivara speak, sending Gia, her familiar Leloni, and Cash on an epic journey to join forces with a band of unlikely allies and create a new era. Together, the Seven must unite the short-lived races, defy the weight of history, battle impossible odds, and confront a prophecy that could destroy their world.

Epic in scale and rich with heart, Spellbound is a sweeping tale of unity, resilience, and the power of embracing what was once feared. - S. Ketteman
