Water and the Wild

Bound by Flame: Book 3

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

In Ireland, folklore isn’t history. It’s unfinished business

When a man vanishes beneath a haunted lake, paranormal investigators Aisling and Elliot are drawn to a forgotten Irish village where obsession spreads like a curse.

The townspeople are changing.

Desire becomes fixation. Passion turns to madness.

And something ancient watches from beneath the water.

Bound by a dangerous fae curse that keeps them apart, Aisling and Elliot must uncover the truth before the town loses itself entirely—and before their own hearts betray them.

Because some monsters don’t kill.

They convince you to want your own destruction.

Perfect for fans of mythic urban fantasy, Irish folklore, and character-driven supernatural mysteries.
