Revenge demands sacrifice. Don’t miss this action-packed, jaw-dropping, dark and romantic sequel to Dire Bound.

CROWNED BY DESTINY. CONSUMED BY VENGEANCE.

Against all odds, Meryn Cooper has inherited the crown—and a deadly war. As the Kingdom of Nocturna splinters under the weight of generations of lies, it is up to Meryn, her bonded direwolf Anassa, and their allies to bring the country back from the brink.

But the commoners, the Bonded, and the nobles are distrustful of their new queen and Meryn is caught in a deadly game of politics. Meanwhile, Meryn’s beloved younger sister, Saela, is more at risk than ever.

Confusingly, the one person Meryn can trust is Stark Therion—the dark, dangerous Alpha she thought hated her as much as she loathed him. Yet, his loyalty is unshakeable. His presence is intoxicating. And with his guidance, Meryn can seize an unthinkable level of power.

With enemies closing in and shadows stirring in her dreams, Meryn stands to lose her kingdom—and her heart.

Blood will spill. Bonds will break. Fate will be tested.

Sable Sorensen burst onto the romantasy scene with Dire Bound, the first book in their Wolves of Ruin trilogy. That story was passionate and gruesome, with twists and turns you never saw coming. It was one of those stories that you could lose yourself in and just allow the story to guide you, with no idea of what to expect.

Fury Bound picks up immediately following the events and revelations of Dire Bound, which must be read first. Alliances will be formed. Loyalties will be tested. Bonds will break. And no one will ever be the same.

Sable really puts Meryn and readers on an emotional rollercoaster with Fury Bound. So much happens within the pages of this book that it just becomes overwhelming, from broken trust to unimaginable events. Meryn may not have had a breakdown, but I definitely did. The fight scenes are intense and leave you holding your breath. Meryn and Stark finally give in to their intense desire for one another, turning their slow-burning attraction into spicy encounters.

Fury Bound provides even more twists, turns, and surprises, which I’m starting to associate with Sable’s work. Just when you think things have calmed down, think again. Ruin Bound concludes the trilogy, and I’m expecting even more surprises to come.
