Shadowbound

An Enemies to Lovers Dark Romantasy (The Shadow Fae, Book 3)

By: Evangeline Anderson

Narrated by: Ada Sinclair, Sebastian Grove

Alaric, Paladin of Solaris

I was sent to kill her… but I submitted to her instead.

The GodKing ordered me to slay the sorceress Sylvanna and retrieve the Heart of the Eclipse—a legendary artifact said to shape fate itself. Failure was not an option. But when I found her, her Shadow Magic overwhelmed my Celestial Light. I alone bear the Holy Fire, yet I was powerless against her.

She offered me a deal: take her Oath of Submission and serve her for a time, and she would grant me a chance at the Heart. I had no choice but to obey. I never expected to crave it.

Sylvanna, Sorceress of Nocturna

He came to destroy me. Now he is mine. Shadowbound.

I knew the Paladin was coming to kill me. I didn’t expect him to kneel.

Alaric is strong enough to snap me in half… but instead, he begs to serve, to please, to taste. He burns with Light, but his soul hungers for Shadow—and for me.

Training him is a pleasure. Keeping him is a temptation.

But our bond will be tested. To reclaim the Heart of the Eclipse, we must travel to the City of Night and face Kraven—my treacherous former Blood-Partner.

If we fail, our kingdoms will fall. If we succeed… the magic awakening inside my Paladin may change everything.

Shadowbound is a steamy enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance featuring:

* A dominant vampire sorceress

* A proud, submissive paladin hero/Dragon Shifter

* Sex-Magic training, and power exchange

* A high-stakes quest through a sensual, magical world

* Fated mates tension with dark spice and deep feels

If you love romantasy, magical kink, Dark Romance, enemies to lovers, and powerful heroines who take what they want, this book is for you.

This book has it all!!

This book is filled with lust, dominance and submission role-playing, magic, sexual acts of delight throughout it, and a beautiful protective dragon. Just excellent! It's also one of her better books, with a female main character who doesn't resort to trickery or nagging. I'm a massive fan of Evangeline's works, which are crazy awesome, and have read over 120 of her novels. She has many novels where she uses some form of trickery to get the female to mate/bond with her mate. Excellent book and narration. Also happy that this book wasn't narrated by William Martin, his whispering voice is crazy annoying 😀!!!!

I loved it

Ahhh if only men could really be like this guy. I enjoyed the roles played out it was titillating. I recommend this read to only daring listeners.
