Before there was Selene, there was Roxilana. Her love fated, her life doomed, and her story forgotten – until now. When Roxilana hears a voice inside her head, she believes she’s gone mad. This voice, Memnon, claims he is her god-touched soul mate, one who has the ability to wield magic. Not only that, but he believes Roxilana possesses magic, too. Wild though his claims are, Roxilana realises Memnon speaks the truth. First, her power Awakens. Then, Memnon, King of the Sarmatians, shows up at her door in Rome, proclaims her as his wife, and takes her to his homeland. Roxilana’s fate is everything she hoped for. But there are things Memnon didn’t tell her – about his magic, life as a Sarmatian, and what she, as queen, will have to endure. And as she soon learns, nothing is as dangerous as love and power. While the combination can build empires and legacies, it is capable of destroying everything and everyone in its path. And if Roxilana and Memnon are not careful, it could destroy them along with it. The Curse That Binds offers a rich and steamy romantasy tale set before Bewitched and Bespelled, making it perfect for long-time series fans and newcomers alike.
