The Locket and the Flame (The Binding Veil #1)

Some curses come wrapped in silver. Others wear a beard and a scowl.

Dahlia Moore wanted a quiet life. A cozy cottage. Herbal tea. Maybe the occasional spooky antique.

What she got was a cursed locket, a dangerously attractive warlock, and a front-row seat to a centuries-old betrayal with her name now tangled in the aftermath.

When she opens the locket, Dahlia accidentally unleashes Kieran Voss—a brooding druid with shadow magic, a sharp tongue, and enough emotional baggage to sink a coven. Hes been trapped for generations, imprisoned by the people he once trusted most. Now hes out, bound to Dahlia by threads of dark magic and possibly something deeper.

As Dahlia uncovers secrets buried in blood and ash, shes forced to reckon with a growing power inside herself—and a bond with Kieran that feels dangerously close to fate.

But the curse that freed him didnt break.

It shifted.

And something ancient is hunting them both.
