And doomed.When tragedy calls her home, Aoife reclaims the throne she was born to share, only to find her brother has pushed her out, claiming it's to protect her. But to Aoife, protection without power is just a prettier kind of prison.Reunited with Eamon under dangerous new circumstances, she uncovers a truth that cuts deeper than betrayal-and reignites the obsession they tried to leave behind. When Aoife and Eamon's worlds collide again, buried truths rise to the surface-and so do the feelings they tried to leave behind. Love bleeds. Loyalty burns. And the pendulum swings ever closer to her final fall.Bound by Darkness is a dark mafia reimagining of The Pit and the Pendulum-where love is a weapon, loyalty is a lie, and survival demands sacrifice.
