The Shadowbound Knight

Betrayed. Hunted. Cursed. Once a knight of honor, Kieran Vale was sworn to protect the realm of Veyros-until a treacherous betrayal branded him a traitor. Framed for a crime he did not commit and sentenced to death, Kieran barely escapes with his life. But in exile, he discovers something far worse: the forbidden magic he once swore to destroy now runs through his veins. Marked as Shadowbound, Kieran is pursued by the ruthless Inquisitors, relentless bounty hunters, and the kingdom he once called home. His only chance at survival lies with the Ashen Veil, a rogue faction of outlaws who claim to know the truth behind the King's war against magic. But trust is dangerous, and Kieran's presence may doom them all. As war looms on the horizon and whispers of an ancient prophecy resurface-one that speaks of a fallen knight who will either save the kingdom or shatter it-Kieran must make an impossible choice. Will he fight to reclaim his honor? Or will he surrender to the darkness growing inside him? A dark, action-packed fantasy filled with betrayal, forbidden magic, and an exiled knight's fight against fate.
