You are mine now. Mine to play with. Mine to break.

He is secrets, danger and passion. He is forbidden sin.
And now he holds the key to destroy all I hold dear.

The Dark Fae prince never told me his name. Not when he tried to seduce me, and not before he purposely botched one of my jobs and stole what was mine -- a dangerous relic with unlimited power. It has the ability to break kingdoms… and tear down the wall that separates the human world from the dangerous, wyld magic of the fae.

He knows that I will do anything to protect my family. Even follow him beyond the wall, into his lands.

Mortals aren't allowed in the Obsidian Kingdom. Those who're caught are killed…or turned into captives. Playthings of the Dark King and his royal family.

That's what the prince wants: to turn me into his toy. To play with. To break.

But I'm not the kind of toy he's used to.

I will play the games of lust and passion so that I can learn the rules. So that I can break them.

And then I will take back what is mine and claim my revenge. Not all mortal women are delicate flowers--some have thorns.

The series

Full series details →

Shadowbound Fae transports readers to a realm where danger and desire collide, where one woman’s quest for vengeance sets her on a path that could unravel both the human and Fae worlds.

Read full series description

Set in the Obsidian Kingdom, a forbidden realm where mortals aren’t welcome, Obsidian introduces a captivating heroine who’s willing to risk everything to reclaim a stolen relic with power that could destroy kingdoms. The Dark Fae prince, with his dangerous charm, plans to turn her into his toy, but she’s far from the kind of plaything he expects. As their paths intertwine, what begins as a game of passion soon spirals into a battle of wits, power, and revenge.

What makes Shadowbound Fae stand out is its deep connection to the Demigods of San Francisco series, where elements of the world and its magic first came to life. As a spin-off, Shadowbound Fae delves deeper into the mystical realms of Fae politics, deadly magic, and the eternal struggle for power. Fans of Breene’s earlier work will recognize familiar threads while being introduced to a darker, more dangerous side of the supernatural.

The series balances heart-pounding action with sizzling romance, creating a world that’s rich in tension and allure. With its focus on the tension between forbidden desires and high-stakes danger, Shadowbound Fae offers an immersive experience that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

If you crave dark romance, high fantasy, and characters who refuse to play by the rules, this is the series you’ve been waiting for. As part of a duology, the stakes are high, and the conclusion promises to deliver even more thrills, magic, and twists that will leave you craving more.
