The Goddess's Binding

A great fantasy adventure for fans of Garth Nix and Tamora Pierce. An ancient, unbreakable curse. The girl who defied it. Until an inescapable life debt took everything away from her. For a thousand years, the kingdom of Azaria has been governed by the Binding, the unseen magic that forces couples into lifelong bonds. For seventeen-year old Eliza, she can't imagine a worse fate. The spell cursed her sister, and it's stopped at nothing to claim her, as well. Her attempts to avoid it, however, are rudely shattered the night she's saved by Ryan, a mysterious bounty-hunter. Now Bound to him, Eliza must spend every moment at his side, else she'll transform into an Unbound; a lifeless husk without mind or soul. Unfortunately, Ryan's not looking to settle, and Eliza is dragged into a crazy life on the run. Still, she's not going to take this lying down. Between grappling with false lust and fleeing an unseen enemy, she plans to break her Binding; a feat no-one has ever achieved. The key to her freedom lies closer than she thinks, and it's deeply connected to Ryan's past. But how can you fight against your own heart?
