When the gods died, their fire sank into the earth-and waited.Lyra West was never meant to survive the Vale. The cursed valley devoured entire kingdoms, leaving only ash and whispers in its wake. But when Lyra is bound to the fallen soldier Varent Kaelith by blood and fire, their shared heartbeat awakens something ancient beneath the mountains... something that remembers its own hunger.The Vale is not a place. It is a living memory.And it wants them both.As war, ruin, and resurrection tear the world apart, Lyra must decide whether to destroy the god rising inside her-or become it. But love forged in flame cannot be undone, and every step she takes binds her closer to the man she cannot save and the power she cannot contain.Dark, romantic, and hauntingly atmospheric, Bound by the Vale is a tale of love that remakes the world, of devotion turned divine, and of the fire that endures when all else burns away.
