From bestselling indie author and TikTok favorite Laura Thalassa comes the next installment of a witch fantasy set in the world of the Bargainer series. Only the dangerously handsome Memnon the Cursed can help Selene find the answers she seeks...if she doesn't lose her heart first.
No one told witch Selene Bowers having a soul mate would be so difficult. Nor did they warn her that he might be a vengeful, ancient sorcerer who would frame her for murder, force her to remember a past life he swears she lived, and then coerce her into an unbreakable marriage pact. But that's exactly what happens the night of the Samhain Ball, when Selene finds herself in a jail cell.
After waking from enchanted sleep, Memnon swore to discover why Selene betrayed him long ago. But when his soul mate's memories return, the truth reveals something else entirely. Horrified by his own actions and desperate to make amends, Memnon offers Selene the unthinkable: a magic bond that will give her full control over his will. And Selene is desperate enough to accept it.
But other enemies still haunt Henbane Coven, Selene's magical academy, and they've taken a keen interest in her. If she wants to stop them, she'll need Memnon's help. But partnering with the sorcerer is a tricky business, especially when he's dead set on winning her heart. And that can't happen?because the bond controlling him will break the moment she falls in love with him.
He bound her with a curse.
He betrayed her at her lowest.
But now, he's giving her control over his soul.
From bestselling indie author and TikTok favorite Laura Thalassa comes a deliciously witchy romantasy.
Life as a witch at Henbane Coven was already complicated for Selene Bowers, but having a soulmate like Memnon the Cursed? That's a whole new level of chaos.
After being forced into a magical marriage pact with the powerful ancient sorcerer, who not only framed her for murder but claims she betrayed him in a past life, Selene is grappling with too many dark questions and not enough memories.
But when her full memory returns, both Selene and Memnon discover that the truth is not at all what it sems.
Desperate to make amends, Memnon offers her something unthinkable: a binding spell that makes him hers to command. His power. His mind. Even his heart. But there's a catch: if she ever truly falls for him, the bond shatters, and all bets are off.
As her enemies close in and the halls of Henbane turn deadlier, Selene must decide whether she can trust the man she once loved-or if this cursed love story is destined to end in fire.
A sexy, high-stakes romantasy perfect for fans of ACOTAR and The Serpent and the Wings of Night!
