A Ballad of Severed Souls

by

Jodie Angell

Adelina Orlova is the long-lost wielder of astral magic. Filip Tarasov is an influential sorcerer of nether, and after a decade of searching, he’s finally found her. Each wields a half of soul magic and neither can be at their strongest without the other. When Adelina’s dormant powers are forced to the surface, she helps Filip with his plans to reunite the divided countries. But in doing so, she must leave behind Damir, the man she’s falling for.
When Adelina discovers Filip wants to force her into marriage to secure a powerful bloodline, she hastily marries Damir instead. Adelina must walk a blade’s edge between bending to Filip’s will and conspiring to overthrow him. Everything she holds dear is at stake, including the man she loves.

A Ballad of Severed Souls is the first book in Soul Bound, a sweeping romantic fantasy series. Perfect for fans of high-stakes sorcery, political intrigue, marriage of convenience, a journey of self-discovery, sacrifice, and true love. This book will appeal to fans of The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller, From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout, The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen, and These Twisted Bonds by Lexi Ryan.
