Bound by Blood and Shadow

"This was it, the end of my story."They were trapped with no way back. Stumbling into an unknown world is terrifying for any human, but for anxiety-riddled Lenora, it's worse. There's only one consolation: She arrived on horseback, with her beloved black gelding. Starpathia holds a realm of enchanting creatures both wondrous and lethal. Protected under the watchful eyes of Elders, the people wield impossible gifts, unbelievable to an outsider. That is, until Lenora's own hidden powers surface, turning the eyes of The Fallen upon her. Shadow magic hurls Lenora into an age-old conflict begun long before her arrival. Whispers of one who can enter your mind place her in far more danger than most, for the caged beings she brought from home still reside deep inside. Now they are getting louder, screaming to be heard. Can Lenora master her new powers against such ancient darkness? Or will she fall prey to the darkness inside, dooming this realm and all others?Content Warning: on-page violence & torture, off-page implied sexual abuse.
