The dead whisper her name.
The living will learn to fear it.
Elara was nothing—just a servant lost in the frozen crypts of Icespire, cursed by royalty and abandoned by her kingdom. But when fire rained from the sky, turning her icy prison into a graveyard, she emerged from the ashes—scarred, stolen magic humming beneath her skin, and hungry for vengeance.
Now, hidden behind the mask of the princess she once served, Elara is trapped in the gilded cage of Emberfall’s court as the king’s seventh wife. Here, smiles are sharper than blades, secrets bleed like wounds, and every heartbeat risks exposure. Her stolen ice magic is her only weapon—and her greatest curse.
But nothing is more dangerous than him.
The Dragon King.
A villain carved from flame and fury, whose molten gaze sees through her lies and whose obsession threatens to consume her whole. His interest isn’t just dangerous—it’s lethal. Because he’s not just her enemy.
He’s the temptation that could ruin her.
And while Rhydian, her loyal guard, shields her from daggers in the dark, it’s his forbidden devotion that slices deepest. His loyalty is a fragile line Elara can’t afford to cross—especially when her heart keeps daring to betray her.
In a world where love is a liability, trust is treason, and power demands sacrifice, Elara didn’t claw her way back from death to bow.
She rose to set kingdoms on fire.
Perfect for fans of villain romance, forbidden love, and enemies-to-lovers tension, Death Bound is a darkly addictive romantasy of survival, betrayal, and the deadly masks we wear to claim what’s ours.
Renee’s Five Star Review
If you don’t already know this book was written by CoraLee June writing as Meg Halcyon. If you have never read a book she has written then you have been missing out. This book is no different. It is absolutely amazing. Buckle up and dive on into this book and go on an adventure you will be thinking about for a while once you finish this book. Elara lives in a cold and icy place and has really been though so much. She is always facing some unknown danger. Then you get to enter worlds that you could only ever create in your imagination and they were fascinating. I don’t know that I can get into the plot of this book and not give something away. I could honestly probably sit here and tell you the entire story and go on and on about how good it is. But I won’t. This book is a thrill ride from the first moment you pick up the book to the very end. It has twists and turns you won’t see coming. There are characters you will love and some you will hate and some will just make you down right angry. I loved how whitty and funny at times that Elara was. She has some smoking hot chemistry with some characters. She also has to figure out who she can trust and I for one was right there with her and I’m still not sure. This book is amazing!! You do not want to miss it.
