The Shadow Binder's Bride
A Fantasy Romance

About this book:

Elara Vance has spent a lifetime cataloging the dead in the silent, dust-choked stacks of the Great Library—until the night her reckless brother gambles away his shadow to a fae prince who wears darkness like a cloak. To save Kael from a fading death, Elara does the unthinkable: she summons the Shadow Binder himself and offers a trade. Her vast knowledge of forgotten lore for his mercy. But the Lord of the Sunless Spires doesn't want a servant; he wants a bride. Now bound to a husband who is both monster and master, Elara must navigate a court of living ink and stolen souls, where the archives she loves are weapons and the silence she cherished is a predator waiting to strike.

In the Citadel of Sunless Spires, every corridor hides a secret written in bone and every shadow hungers for the warmth of her mortal blood. As Elara struggles to impose order on her husband's chaotic hoard of captured essences, she discovers a terrifying aptitude for the dark magic that binds them—and a dangerous attraction to the cold, silver-eyed ruler who holds her brother’s life in his palm. But the Twilight Court plays for keeps, and an ancient treachery is stirring in the violet mists. To survive, Elara must decide if she is merely the Binder's captive cataloger... or the only one with the steel to rewrite the laws of shadow itself.

Perfect for fans of *A Court of Thorns and Roses* and *The Night Circus*, *The Shadow Binder's Bride* is a lush, atmospheric fantasy romance where knowledge is power, love is a bargain struck in blood and ink, and the most dangerous thing in the dark is a woman who refuses to be filed away.
