Bound by Darkness (Bound by #1)

To kill a Fae god means obtaining casting, but what if the gods granted you that power instead?

Thalia, a woman who has been imprisoned for the last eleven years, has never known the freedoms of her land. She has only known survival and hardships because of the casting she was born with. The only half-breed to possess elemental casting in Cethales. A land cursed by the abandoned Fae gods. A land where the High Fae have lost their immortality and the earth is withering to sand.

However, everything Thalia thought she knew about her imprisonment is challenged as an assassin, Ivan, rescues her only to subdue her into a deadly alliance for the sake of Cethales.

His one goal is to end the war. Her goal? To rescue the one person she cares about, even if it means forming an alliance with a Fae prick. Will this unlikely pair begin to trust one another as they are forced to uncover Cethales' mysteries, or will the horrors of their past serve as barriers to their alliance?
