Magicbound

C.C.S. Jones

Lusa’s greatest enemy isn’t the world hunting her… it’s the magic inside her that wants control. Branded a villain for being a dark mage, she’s captured by a bounty Hunter, who turns her in to a society that fears her power yet refuses to destroy it. Instead, they demand she become their protector, their weapon, their hero. Reluctant alliances are made to destroy an even greater evil as her magic pushes her toward ruin. Lusa must decide whether control is possible or if becoming the monster they expect is the only way to survive.

About the Author

C.C.S. Jones

C.C.S. Jones is an award-winning fantasy author who writes bold, emotionally charged stories about fierce women standing at the edge of transformation. Her breakout novel Magicbound launched The Last Mage series with a five-star seal from Readers’ Favorite, and her latest release, Daughter of Ash and Myth, kicks off The Mythic Saga—a YA fantasy steeped in mythology, monsters, and girl-powered grit. With a background in education and a passion for character-driven storytelling, she blends high-stakes plots with gritty emotion and vivid, cinematic storytelling to portray strong girls in all their complexity and truth.

When she’s not writing or workshopping with fellow writers at DFW Writers’ Workshop, she’s performing on stage, chasing storms with her son, or savoring quiet moments with her soulmate, their three incredible kids, and sweet baby grandson. A devoted coffee drinker, she’s forever inspired by the power of stories to fight, heal, and shine.
