About this listen

Nobody ever believed me.

Not when I was five and told them about the boy with pointy ears who saved my life in the forest. Not during thirteen miserable years of bullying and being labeled the town weirdo.

Until a guy with golden eyes and a royal guard escort shows up at my door to drop a bombshell.

That little boy? Yeah, he's real.

And he's a fae Prince.

And he magically linked my life to his when he saved me.

I know what you're thinking. Lucky girl, right?

Wrong. Because now the Prince is sick and apparently, I'm the only one who can save him. How can I possibly say no?

That's how I find myself in the fae realm, where pretty much everything either wants to kill me, eat me, or... use me for something worse. If not for the gorgeous fae who saved my life, I'd have died an hour in.

Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Grumpy has annoyingly beautiful eyes, a voice that sounds like sex, and a tattoo that screams trouble. He says his name is Rune, and he'll take me to the Prince safely—if I do what he says.

Unfortunately for me, he looks like he's made of shadows and really bad decisions, so of course, I follow him. But the more time we spend together, the more near-death experiences we go through, the more Rune gets under my skin. He makes most people look the other way, but he's sweet when no one's watching. He makes my heart do really weird things.

And just when I think my life couldn't possibly get any crazier—it does.

Turns out, this whole saving-the-Prince business can get a girl into a lot of trouble, and I'm not entirely sure I can handle it this time.

Lifebound is a romantasy with a delicious shadow fae and a couple of very spicy scenes. You can expect tropes like: she falls first, he falls harder; touch her & die; one *horse* trop;, fae royalty; fated… but not *mates*; Prince Charming included (just not in your usual kind of way). Enjoy!
