Tethered: Book One of The Binding Chronicles
Not yet published: Expected Sep 8, 2026
The first book in The Binding Chronicles, Tethered is a darkly seductive romantasy for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and The Serpent and the Wings of Night, blending forbidden love, dangerous magic and a bond that defies fate.
What could be worse than an arranged marriage to a vampire prince?
When Luna is sold into marriage to the vampire Prince of Darkness, she expects cruelty, not temptation. Prince Sebastian was made to obey his queen, even if that means binding himself to a mortal he doesn't want and burying every trace of the humanity he lost centuries ago. But the moment their blood mingles during the Binding Ceremony, something ancient and forbidden ignites between them.
Now bound by a magic neither understands and incapable of going more than thirty feet apart, Luna and Sebastian are trapped in each other’s orbit—tethered but unwilling to surrender. As political schemes twist into betrayal and war brews on the horizon, desire becomes their greatest danger. Loving each other could cost them their crowns, their kingdoms and their lives.
Steeped in dark magic, aching passion and impossible choices, Tethered is a sweeping gothic romantasy about two enemies bound by fate and undone by love.

Insta love that happens over time with a mix of forced proximity. I do like that the time frames are weeks and not just days. There are multiple plots but it seems like all the same goal, the reader just doesn't known what that is. Luna and Sebastian have there different point of views, different understanding and different voices. Solid 3 stars with an extra half a star for the different POV's and timing. It ends on a cliff hanger so I guess I'm reading book 2.
Received an ARC copy in return for an honest review
Y’all… y’all. THIS BOOK! Reluctant allies to lovers, the literal definition of forced proximity, shared bed, touch her and d!e vibes. I’m obsessed with this story. Luna and Sebastian are amazing and I love the dual POV. The slow burn is the most exquisite torture ever. I blew through this book in less than 24 hours. I couldn’t put it down and I didn’t want it to end. That ending was so intense! I’m emotionally invested in these two and I can’t wait for Tormented to come out!
