The Things We Couldn’t Unbind

Twenty years ago, a binding failed. A child survived. And something ancient began to wait. Now she lives alone in a warded apartment, surrounded by salt, iron, and rules she refuses to break. She does not trust easily. She does not hope recklessly. And she does not open her door for strangers who knock too calmly. Until he arrives. He doesn't bleed. He doesn't beg. He remembers. He knows about the temple. About the broken circle. About the night she survived when she should not have. He speaks of a binding that was split in two—and of a debt that was never finished. The magic that marked her as a child is stirring again. The wards are thinning. The old prayers are no longer enough. And the man standing in her doorway may be the only one who understands why. But some bindings were never meant to be undone. And some loves were never meant to survive the truth. The Things We Couldn't Unbind is a dark fantasy romance about memory, sacrifice, and the kind of love that does not ask to be saved—it chooses to stay anyway. Perfect for readers who love: slow-burn, emotionally intense romance ancient magic and broken wards tragic love stories with devastating endings powerful heroines shaped by survival Some things can't be unbound. And some are worth the cost.
