She never meant to bind her soul to a god. But some mistakes are eternal. Juno's just your average quirky archaeologist—with a backpack full of peanut butter, a hellhound named Gus, and an unhealthy obsession with axolotls. But when she pokes around a cave full of ancient rubble (as one does), she accidentally becomes the owner of something she never wanted: a shadow god's soul. Cursed and banished by the Celestials, he was condemned to serve mortals for eternity—the ultimate humiliation for an immortal. Now he's bound to protect her, whether he likes it or not. The problem? She can feel his emotions. Every. Single. One. He's had other soul holders before, but he's never felt theirs . She's different. And the longer they're bonded, the harder it becomes to ignore what's growing between them—or why she's the first mortal to break through thirteen thousand years of silence. Perfect for fans of K.F. Breene and Lauren Dawes. 🌶️ Slow-burn fantasy romance featuring: Accidental soul bond / fated mates - Grumpy-sunshine forced proximity - Snarky heroine & possessive antihero - Sharp banter and sizzling tension - Touch her and die energy Book One in the Shadowbound trilogy.
