Bound Against Will
Book One of the Marked by Power Series
By Samantha VanGundy
An unwanted bond. A dangerous Alpha. A power neither of them saw coming.
When Rowan is captured and forcibly bonded to Ares, the cold and commanding Alpha heir of a ruling house, he expects pain, obedience, and a prison he can never escape. But the bond they share doesn't behave like it should-and it begins to awaken something long buried in Rowan's bloodline. Something the Council thought was extinct.
As they flee into the shadowed corners of a fractured world, Rowan and Ares uncover a rebellion, ancient secrets, and a truth that could burn the Council to the ground. But the deeper the bond pulls them together, the more dangerous it becomes-because someone is hunting Rowan. And they don't want him alive.
In a world where love is forbidden, and power is passed through control, Rowan must decide if what binds them is fate... or the weapon that could break them both.
Fans of MM omegaverse, slow-burn romance, and magical rebellion will fall hard for this emotional, enemies-to-lovers fantasy debut.
