SHADOWBOUND

In the moon ruled kingdom of Zadon, power is not inherited. It is awakened. Artemis has lived her entire life pretending to be ordinary, hiding a fire inside her she does not yet understand. Forced into a political marriage with a prince she has never met, she is dragged from freedom into a palace built on secrets, ancient laws, and traditions designed to silence women like her. On the night of the Leap Moon Festival, everything changes. The moon recognizes Artemis. As her latent powers begin to stir, whispers spread through the palace of an old prophecy long thought buried: A child of light will rise beneath the watching moon, bound to a shadow born to destroy her. The prince of Zadon is no ordinary man. Veiled, feared, and emotionally distant, he carries a darkness that responds violently to Artemis’s presence. Where she brings warmth, he brings silence. Where she shines, he consumes. Their connection is immediate, dangerous, and forbidden by prophecy itself. As Artemis learns that she can draw power from the four elements, her existence becomes a threat. Some want to control her. Others want her erased. The palace turns into a battlefield of manipulation, jealousy, and quiet cruelty, and every step closer to her power pushes her nearer to her destruction. Torn between love and survival, Artemis must decide whether to suppress her light to save the kingdom, or embrace it and risk unleashing a catastrophe foretold by the moon itself. Because if the prophecy is fulfilled, one thing is certain: Only one of them will remain.
