Bound by Shadow and Light

Dr. Madeleine Mackenzie has spent her life studying belief systems, myths, and the superstitions people cling to in times of fear. Logic has always been her shield—until the night her carefully ordered world begins to unravel. After a chance encounter with the charismatic and mysterious Eric Daranthas at an academic gala, Madeleine finds herself drawn to him in ways she cannot explain. Their connection is immediate, intense… and impossible to ignore. But when her obsessive ex-fiancé turns violent and strange events begin to unfold around her, Madeleine is forced to confront a terrifying truth: the legends she has devoted her career to studying may be real. Hidden beneath the modern world, an ancient war between light and shadow still rages. Powerful beings known as Keepers guard sacred Seals that imprison Nexus, a dark force desperate to break free from the Void. And somehow, Madeleine is at the centre of it all. As danger closes in and the line between myth and reality shatters, Madeleine and Eric must uncover the truth behind their bond before forces of darkness tear their world apart. Because some legends were never meant to stay buried.
