Bound to Ruin

I am trapped by a nightmare of my own making. Will the men I love be my salvation… or my ruin?

Astoria thought she’d defeated the curse born of her hatred.

She was wrong.

It survived, twisting the last person she expected into a powerful, ravenous puppet. When he attacks, Astoria is torn from her world, leaving Lucas and Valen with only one chance to save her.

Lucas is reckless, devoted, and impossible to resist. Valen is cold, possessive, and responsible for a heart-wrenching betrayal. Choosing between them nearly broke Astoria.

Now, imprisoned behind a mirror, she can only watch as the two men she loves are forced back into close proximity. At first, rivalries reignite between Lucas and Valen. But as they hunt for a way to free Astoria, hatred sharpens into something hotter—something neither man is willing to admit.

Now, with time running out and loyalties threatened, one truth becomes impossible to ignore:

Some betrayals don’t just break your heart.

They ruin you.

Full of delicious yearning, this series combines the dark seduction of the “why choose” trope in Jasmine Mas’ novels with Holly Black’s deadly, bookish magic.
