Tethered: The binding chronicles. Book 1

What could be worse than an arranged marriage to a vampire prince?


When Luna is sold into marriage to the Prince of Darkness on her twenty-first birthday, she thinks she knows what to expect. Arranged marriages happen all the time, right? Wrong. No one could have prepared her for the reality of being married to the vampire prince.


Ever since the day he was Made, Sebastian has been living according to Queen Marguerite's rules. After all, he's only alive because of her. When she orders him to marry and Bind himself to Luna, a human hailing a neighboring kingdom, he has no choice. He agrees to the marriage but never expects to feel anything for her.


When their Binding Ceremony goes awry, and they are magically Tethered, everything is thrown into upheaval. Unable to leave each other's presence, they must learn to live with each other. Or die.


Tethered is an arranged marriage high fantasy romance and it is filled with forced proximity, magical bindings, vampires, and world-building.


Tethered, Tormented, and Treasured should be read in order. There is a complete arc and a happy ending at the end of Treasured. Troubled takes place after Treasured and follows another couple.


Tethered takes place in the same world as Of Earth and Flame and A Game of Love and Betrayal. It can be enjoyed on its own or alongside The Ithenmyr Chronicles and The Choosing Chronicles.

This book had a good story but I think it would have been better had I not listened to the audio book. The narration seemed a bit off. Silly maybe but his name Sebastien and the word vampire as used so much that they started to sound like not words at all. But the story is good enough I'll give the second one a chance.
