Bound by Fate and Loyalty
Hey! Sorry that random girl took over back there. She's a little mysterious, if you ask me. S. G. Darley speaking now.
Welcome to my story, the first in a trilogy. I hope to have this book published around spring of 2025.
Let's get talking about the book itself. (This is all the boring, good-to-know stuff. Feel free to skip.)
Bound by Fate and Loyalty is a high, dark fantasy romance novel appropriate for ages seventeen and up. It follows Raven, a vampire, and Sylvanor, an Elvish prince. Within, you'll find strong morals, religious tones, and themes of healing, grief, and becoming. Of course, there's about a thousand more that you could find.
I shamelessly love vampires and shifting races, so they are found throughout all three novels. In almost all cases, dragons, fairies, pixies, manticores, etc. have human forms.
You're probably wondering: if this book is set on Earth, how is it high fantasy?
Well, you'll have to trust me on this one. I'd love to explain it, but alas, that's something for the final book. I'm not spoiling the biggest plot point.
A couple of things you should know:
Triggers include...
Death. Grief. Brief mention of suicide. Brief mention of SA and SH. Anxiety. Depression. Alcoholism. Trauma. War. Violence. Blood.
Other things:
This book does NOT contain any smut; however, some intimate scenes are mildly spicy.
There is no profanity in this book.
This book eventually establishes a belief in a God. If that is triggering, please keep this in mind.
Nothing is based on real events. If that seems to be the case, it is entirely coincidental. While it does pull from my experiences, this is entirely a work of fiction. Some elements have been checked for accuracy, i.e. cultures and mental illness.
