About this ebook

A Bestselling YA Epic Fantasy and the #1 Norse Myths Bestseller!

Here's what readers are saying about this breakout novel:

FANTASTY WRITING AT ITS BEST!
"Bonded is an intriguing, addicting immersion into lives of young heroes and heroines making their way in a beautiful but dangerous world. With rich descriptions of fantastic places and people—their struggles and celebrations—this is fantasy writing at its best!" – Bestseller: Ann Mauren, author of In the Spotlight: Mayne Attraction

"I'm captivated… Bonded totally sucked me in; I could not put it down…"

"A rollercoaster of emotion! I literally teared up, laughed out loud, and gasped in surprise!"

OVERVIEW:

Hallad Avarson's vow to protect a mysterious warrior maiden pits his best friend against him, endangers the life of his little sister, and leads him into a treacherous realm of magic and intrigue.

This richly imagined epic fantasy transports readers into a tale of seductive power, heart-wrenching love, and edge-of-your seat thrills, while following inspiring young heroes and heroines as they discover their abilities and destinies interweave with the fate of a captivatingly original world.

More praise for Bonded:

"It feels like a big budget Peter Jackson movie in my head."

"This book has it all: magic, romance, humor, suspense, and a pace that keeps you reading all night long!"

"I absolutely loved my introduction into the world of the ShadowLight Saga…I felt like I'd lived through an epic adventure."

"An incredibly talented wordsmith with a promising career ahead of her; this book is fantastic! I can't wait for the sequel. I have to see what will happen next!"

If you like Graceling, Xena Warrior Princess, Twilight Saga, or The Wheel of Time…you'll love Bonded: Book One of the ShadowLight Saga.
