Between love and obligation, whichever shall she choose?

...

Eleanora Finley's story begins in 1705, adversity weaving its intricate threads with a cruel hand. Her father's tragic demise in flames left her adrift, ensnared by a mother whose iron grip offered no solace, no love.

Yet fate, in its capricious dance, unveiled a revelation that no one could have ever expected. The unassuming red-haired girl from down the street was none other than the daughter of the Queen's estranged brother.

In what could have been a Cinderella rags-to-riches story, Eleanora, now known as the Queen's niece, was ushered into the resplendent halls of Aethiel Palace, where brilliance shimmered in blinding splendor. Amidst this grandeur, she encountered Crown Prince Julian de Lavilliers, a figure of regal charm yet not the beacon to kindle her heart as the Queen had envisioned.

Instead, her soul stirred for another - a man from the northern realms, his gaze icy and penetrating. His heart, encased in stone, hands forged by the harshness of battle. A man who had never cried, who had never loved.

Bloodbound - Book One of the Bloodbound Saga by authorliliththorne
51 parts Complete Mature
"Bound by blood, haunted by the past, and forged in the fires of war..." When Duke Cedric of Aedryn is sent to a remote estate by the king, he expects to find a warrior, a strategist-someone to aid the kingdom in its war against the cunning and unstoppable forces of King Aldred. What he doesn't expect is Arya: a cold and mysterious woman of haunting beauty and unearthly power. No one in the kingdom knows her true name or her past, but the king's fear of her is as great as his need for her help. As Cedric brings Arya into the royal court, her presence unsettles everyone, from ambitious nobles to his own intended, Lady Eleanor. Rumors swirl of betrayal, dark magic, and secrets hidden in blood. Yet, as the war deepens, Cedric begins to see the cracks beneath Arya's icy façade-glimpses of a woman scarred by centuries of loss and bound to an enemy that refuses to die. Laziel, a figure from Arya's tragic past, has returned, commanding the enemy's armies with unmatched cunning. To stop him, Arya must confront the memories of a life stolen from her-and a fate she never wanted. But as the lines between ally and enemy blur, Cedric and Arya find themselves drawn to one another, their forbidden bond threatening to unravel everything they stand for. In the end, they must face the ultimate question: how much are they willing to sacrifice to save a kingdom-and each other? Dark, gripping, and laced with forbidden romance, Bloodbound is a tale of vengeance, love, and the choices that bind us to the past-or set us free. • Ranked #1 in Morally Gray If you're looking for comparisons, this story would fit alongside works like The Witcher (for its dark world and slow-burn relationships), A Song of Ice and Fire (for its brutal realism and morally gray characters), and The Broken Empire series by Mark Lawrence (for its merciless world and protagonist grappling with vengeance).

Featured on @HistoricalFiction @NARomance 🥇2023 Rose Gold Awards 🥇Literary Book Awards Story of Edith&Andre: "O'Lady Liberty divine! For thee alone, my life I'd resign: I beseech all to carve thy name so fair, On my tombstone, for all to stare." "This is a love poem for me?" Edith couldn't help muttering resignedly. But what else could she do? Her lover was a stoic little leader! Every time she complained that he was always working tirelessly, Andre would smile and whisper in her ear, "Have you not heard? 'A revolutionary only finds rest in his grave'." It seemed like an ominous omen when he ultimately had neither a grave nor a tombstone. The only thing Andre left her was a small notebook with a red cover. The front page was inscribed with neatly written words: Love, Compassion, Liberty. The final pages remained blank, but at the very end was a small line of pencil writing, already smudged and faded. Each letter was bold and alive, revealing the profound happiness and fervor of the writer: "Liberty is the right to love and to be loved." Story of Fiona: Little Fiona always thought that she lived in a world entirely separated from those wealthy girls, until this barefooted waif became a little Marchioness overnight. She had two fathers, one grand and handsome like a god, the other short and frail like a reed. They believed in completely different philosophies - the latter left her mired in poverty and shame, while the former pulled her into a heaven full of dignity and glory. Fiona chose one and abandoned the other. She felt she lacked nothing: beauty, wealth, honour, and love. Until she met that angel in the scarlet dress again. A century later, the old soldier who ended Fiona's life recalled her in his memoir: "I felt that old lady was a blaze of fire. I aimed at her, shot, and she fell. But bullets could never snuff out flames." What romantic entanglements will fate weave for these noble souls?

Born of the third queen and hardened by loss, Cid rejects the court's demands for a political marriage, refusing to chain his fate to hollow vows. To him, love is a weakness, and duty is a cage. But fate often defies even the coldest heart. During an unremarkable ride through the lower city, Cid's gaze falls upon a slave girl on the auction block. Lyra-pale as moonlight, with silver hair matted by dust and eyes like fractured starlight. Fierce, defiant, and drowning in sorrow. Without a second thought, Cid outbids the crowd, paying an outrageous price for a girl whose worth only he seems to recognize. Back at the palace, Lyra expects cruelty or indifference, but instead finds freedom in the most unlikely place: the heart of a prince who claims he seeks no love, only loyalty. When the king demands Cid marry for political gain, Cid makes an even bolder move-offering Lyra not servitude, but marriage. "You are the only soul in this court untouched by ambition," Cid tells her. "If I must marry, let it be to someone who understands the cost of chains." Bound by defiance and trust, they challenge the court's expectations and the shadows that seek to tear them apart. Yet, as Lyra's past resurfaces and Cid's enemies close in, they must decide if love, fragile and unspoken, is enough to withstand a kingdom built on ice and betrayal. For in the coldest heart, even the smallest flame can spark a revolution.

"Bound by blood, haunted by the past, and forged in the fires of war..." When Duke Cedric of Aedryn is sent to a remote estate by the king, he expects to find a warrior, a strategist-someone to aid the kingdom in its war against the cunning and unstoppable forces of King Aldred. What he doesn't expect is Arya: a cold and mysterious woman of haunting beauty and unearthly power. No one in the kingdom knows her true name or her past, but the king's fear of her is as great as his need for her help. As Cedric brings Arya into the royal court, her presence unsettles everyone, from ambitious nobles to his own intended, Lady Eleanor. Rumors swirl of betrayal, dark magic, and secrets hidden in blood. Yet, as the war deepens, Cedric begins to see the cracks beneath Arya's icy façade-glimpses of a woman scarred by centuries of loss and bound to an enemy that refuses to die. Laziel, a figure from Arya's tragic past, has returned, commanding the enemy's armies with unmatched cunning. To stop him, Arya must confront the memories of a life stolen from her-and a fate she never wanted. But as the lines between ally and enemy blur, Cedric and Arya find themselves drawn to one another, their forbidden bond threatening to unravel everything they stand for. In the end, they must face the ultimate question: how much are they willing to sacrifice to save a kingdom-and each other? Dark, gripping, and laced with forbidden romance, Bloodbound is a tale of vengeance, love, and the choices that bind us to the past-or set us free. • Ranked #1 in Morally Gray If you're looking for comparisons, this story would fit alongside works like The Witcher (for its dark world and slow-burn relationships), A Song of Ice and Fire (for its brutal realism and morally gray characters), and The Broken Empire series by Mark Lawrence (for its merciless world and protagonist grappling with vengeance).
