Bonds Series

Bonds: Century-Spanning Dark Supernatural Fantasy Series

The Bonds series is a century-spanning dark supernatural fantasy set against both contemporary and historical backdrops. It follows the complex, high-stakes relationship between Becca Martin—a reluctant witch forced to embrace her ancestral gift of the Craft—and Antony Cardover, a man who traded his soul for vengeance and has spent centuries bearing an ancestral vampire curse.

As the story evolves, Becca and Antony embark on a dangerous journey to break this ancient tie—a path that leads them into the path of an evil warlock and through a labyrinth of historical betrayal. From the first discovery of their shared destiny to the ultimate dark supernatural sacrifice in the series finale, Becca’s life is constantly at risk. Is she strong enough to overcome her own demons and claim her power? Can Antony escape his past to face an unknown destiny?

The Bonds series is more than just a struggle against vampires and other dangerous, supernatural forces; it is a tale of self-discovery and the brutal price of self-acceptance. Exploring themes of action and consequence, the series presents the harrowing dilemmas that haunt both Becca and Antony across time.

With its dark and supernatural atmosphere, the series will captivate fans of A Discovery of Witches and Outlander, as well as those who enjoy the grit of True Blood and the gothic legacy of Dracula.
