SHADOW BOUND: THE DEMON TAMER'S RECKONING

Aria Nakamura was the laughingstock of the Tamer Society—a "defective" tamer whose spirit affinity was so weak she couldn't even contract with a common ghost. Her fiancé, the golden boy of the prestigious Hayashi clan, paraded his new lover—Aria's own sister—at the Grand Taming Ceremony, announcing their engagement while humiliating Aria before every elite tamer family in Tokyo. Her parents disowned her on the spot, choosing her talented sister over their "worthless" daughter. Broken and desperate, Aria stumbled into the Forbidden Shrine—a place where even master tamers feared to tread. There, in the darkness, she found Him. Kael, the Demon King sealed away for a thousand years, offered her a contract written in blood and starlight: unlimited power in exchange for her soul. But Aria didn't care about her soul anymore. It was already shattered. What they didn't expect? The contract awakened something buried deep within Aria—an ancient bloodline that made her the most powerful tamer in centuries. The "defective" girl was actually the lost heir of the legendary Nakamura clan, whose blood could tame not just spirits, but demons, gods, and death itself. Now Aria walks back into society with a demon king at her side and vengeance burning in her veins. Her ex-fiancé wants her back. Her family begs for forgiveness. The Tamer Council trembles at her power. But Kael, the demon who was supposed to consume her soul, finds himself consumed by something far more dangerous—love for the broken girl who became his queen. They wanted to destroy her. Instead, they awakened a monster. And she's just getting started.

I was the Alpha’s punishment, but he became mine

Not your regular werewolf romance Soraya’s brother makes a single, fatal mistake—one that fractures the Winter Realm and seals his sister’s fate. He kills Cordelia, the pregnant Luna of a rival pack… and the strongest wolf their world has ever known. But Cordelia wasn’t just a wolf. And Soraya isn’t either. Both women belong to a hidden witch bloodline—one so rare their mothers died protecting it, a bloodline tied to an ancient, forbidden triasal soul-bond meant to bind not two fated souls, but three. When Cordelia dies, the dormant third bond awakens… inside Soraya. Nightmares ignite. Her eyes flash molten gold. And the ancient witch book buried for decades in the Winterfall Library chooses her—revealing she was never just Zephan’s sheltered, powerless little sister. She was the final piece of a bond written in prophecy, blood, and death. Damien—the ruthless Alpha who lost his mate that night—should want nothing but Soraya’s destruction. Taking her was supposed to be punishment, vengeance, a way to break her brother. But her scent clashes with his rage. Her magic answers his dominance. And the bond meant for war twists into something darker—obsession, craving, fate pulling two enemies together harder than vengeance can tear them apart. Enemies by tragedy. Bound by forbidden magic. Haunted by the ghost of the woman they both lost. Soraya was supposed to be Damien’s retribution. Instead, she becomes the one thing he can’t reject, can’t resist, and can’t survive without— his fate.

DEMON'S CONTRACT: THE EXORCIST'S REVENGE

Aria Chen was born into the legendary Chen Exorcist family—the most powerful spirit taming bloodline in existence. But at her bonding ceremony, the ancestral spirits rejected her in front of the entire Tamer Society, branding her "spiritually dead." Her fiancé Xavier Kane, heir to the Kane Exorcist empire, publicly broke their engagement on the spot, choosing her talented younger half-sister Celeste instead. Her family disowned her. The Society laughed. She lost everything in one humiliating night. Broken and pregnant with Xavier's child from their final night together, Aria fled into the mortal world, where spirits can't follow. She raised her daughter Lily alone for five years, working three jobs, telling herself she'd never return to that world of power and cruelty. But when malevolent spirits begin hunting mortals in unprecedented numbers, and Lily starts seeing ghosts no five-year-old should see, Aria has no choice. She returns—not as the rejected failure, but as something the Tamer Society has never seen before. She's formed a contract with Azrael, the Demon King of the Abyss, the most dangerous entity in existence. The same demon her ancestors spent centuries trying to seal away. Now Aria isn't just spiritually alive—she's become the most powerful tamer in history. And everyone who destroyed her is about to learn what true power looks like. Xavier Kane is watching his perfect life crumble. His marriage to Celeste is a nightmare. His family empire is failing. And the woman he discarded? She's returned as a goddess of vengeance with a demon king at her command and a daughter who has his eyes. He'll grovel. He'll beg. He'll burn his entire world down to earn her forgiveness. But Aria isn't the broken girl anymore. And some contracts can't be broken—especially when signed in blood and sealed with a demon's kiss.

Bound by Moonlight : When Magic Chooses the Forgotten

"You were never meant for greatness. Stay in your place, little mouse." Isla Thorne has heard these words her entire life—from her ambitious stepfamily who took her inheritance, from her ex-fiancé who used her research to climb the academic ladder, and from the very institution where she now works as a lowly archivist, cataloging ancient texts no one else wants to read. When she accidentally activates a forbidden scroll, she's attacked by a shadow creature sent to silence her. Death is certain—until a luminous warrior with silver eyes and an ancient blade appears, destroying the monster with terrifying grace. Kael Moonsworn, the last Guardian of the Lunar Court, has walked the earth for a thousand years. Cursed to feel nothing, bound by duty alone, he's saved countless lives without caring about a single one. But when his blade cuts through the darkness to save Isla, something impossible happens: he feels. The soul-bond that forms between them is gentle, unexpected, and utterly forbidden. As Isla's dormant magic awakens—power that marks her as the prophesied Veilweaver, capable of sealing or shattering the barrier between realms—she becomes the target of those who betrayed her and dark forces that want to use her gift to unleash chaos. Kael must teach her to survive in a world of immortal politics and deadly magic, even as their growing bond threatens everything he's sworn to protect. Because Isla isn't just powerful—she's the key to ending the war between realms, and everyone wants to control her. One thing becomes clear: the quiet archivist they all dismissed is about to rewrite destiny itself.

Bound to the Immortal Who Feared Love : When Breaking a Curse Means B

"You've bound yourself to me, little mortal. And loving you will be my most exquisite agony." Aria Chen is invisible—a overlooked librarian in the restricted archives of Crescent City's oldest library, betrayed by her fiancé who stole her research and left her publicly humiliated and jobless. When she accidentally shatters an ancient seal while cataloging forbidden texts, she unleashes Kael Ashenveil, an immortal prince of the Celestial Court who has been imprisoned for three centuries. But freedom comes with a price. The seal's destruction has bound their souls together, and Aria discovers she now carries a fragment of divine power that every celestial faction wants to control or destroy. Worse, Kael suffers from the Heartbreak Curse—a punishment that causes him excruciating pain whenever he feels love, growing worse the deeper the emotion runs. To love completely would literally kill him. As enemies from both mortal and immortal realms hunt Aria for the power she holds, Kael becomes her reluctant protector. He's cold, ruthless, and determined to break their bond before his traitorous heart leads them both to destruction. But proximity breeds connection, and every tender moment, every protective gesture, every time their eyes meet—brings him closer to the agony he's spent centuries avoiding. Aria must master powers she never asked for, navigate deadly celestial politics, and decide if a love that could kill is worth fighting for. Because the curse that torments Kael? It's the key to saving both their worlds—but only if they're brave enough to let it break them first. Some bonds are written in the stars. Others are forged in fire and sealed with sacrifice.
