Dire Bound - (Hardback)

Dire Bound by Sable Sorensen is a spicy, addictive romantasy where direwolves are deadly, attraction is dangerous, and survival comes at a price.

Meryn Cooper has spent her life despising the elite warriors who bond with the enormous direwolves that protect their kingdom. But when her little sister is kidnapped by the immortal monsters beyond the border, Meryn has no choice but to enter the very world she hates.

Thrown into the brutal Bonding Trials, she has four months to prove she's worthy — or die trying.

Her greatest challenge? A feral direwolf that refuses to bond with her.

Her biggest threat? The other trainees who would happily see her fail.

And then there's Stark Therion — her cold, beautiful instructor, who seems determined to punish every weakness she shows.

But Stark isn't the only man watching her.

A dangerously handsome crown prince takes an interest in Meryn, putting an even bigger target on her back. Because inside the castle, nothing is quite what it seems, and behind every beautiful smile could be a knife.

As the trials grow deadlier and secrets begin to surface, Meryn must decide who she can trust, who she wants… and whether she's willing to risk her life, her heart, and everything she's ever known.

Direwolves. Deadly trials. Dangerous men. Forbidden tension. Dark secrets.

Bond or bleed. Duel or die. And whatever you do… don't fall for the enemy.
