Blood Bound

Blood Bound by Ellis Hunter is a fast-paced fantasy romance where magic comes at a brutal price and love is never simple. Set in rival kingdoms locked into a once-in-a-generation duel to the death, this romantasy blends witchcraft, dragons, and high-stakes political intrigue with plenty of slow-burn tension.

Astrid is the last Nachstern witch and heir to Arturea, cursed to face Prince Zryan of Vatra for control of the source of all magic. She has potions, grit, and a sharp mind; he has a terrifying dragon and the weight of a kingdom behind him. Far from court, Skylar—a blade-juggler with a grudge against royalty—hunts for her missing best friend, pulled into the same dangerous orbit of power, conscription, and Blooded abilities.

Perfect for readers who love dual POV, ruthless trials, enemies-to-lovers energy, and immersive worldbuilding.
