Teris once played in the halls of elven nobility. Now, she treads darker paths as an agent of the Venatine Order, chasing the shadows that prey on the world. At her side is Ectin-a weary human investigator hardened by tragedy. Together, they hunt for answers in the heart of a city torn apart and unraveling secrets. Children vanish. A rebellion rises with flames fanned by a fledgling cult. And in every hidden corner, the same name is spoken with adoration and fear: the Two in One. What begins as a search for a missing boy becomes a descent into a tangle of faith, corruption, and ancient power. As monstrous forces stir and factions clash, Teris and Ectin must confront not just the horrors outside-but the quiet decay of trust between them. In a world where the gods are dead and monsters wear familiar faces, would you recognize the seeds of evil? Or would your fate be forever shadowbound? The Shadowbound Fates is a dark, character-driven fantasy of tested love, otherworldly creatures, and the cost of faith.
