About SHADOWBOUND:

Reyva Bergmont awaits an execution she doesn’t deserve…

Being high-born means she’s given a choice: death by axe or exile to the bloodthirsty vampire community known as the Hive. After years of unhappiness concealing her taboo magical abilities, Reyva is ready to greet death, but when her loved ones are threatened with a similar fate, she sacrifices herself.

This glittering, nocturnal world wraps its arms around Reyva, seating her at the right hand of the ruling regent. Not only is she his future queen, but a key piece in a vampiric prophecy — not one all immortals want fulfilled. Amidst political turmoil, Reyva finds herself entangled in a steamy romance, surfacing familiar temptations from her past.

In the end, will she submit to another courts’ view of who she ought to be, or will she forge a new life — wholly on her own terms — among the shadows?

About the authors:

Gabby Grahek is a Minnesota-based debut author. I’ve spent my entire life trying to hide or alter my hopeless romantic tendencies but I just can’t seem to escape it. It’s part of my DNA. Even as an adolescent, I dreamt up romantic plots and stories either as thinly veiled short stories of my own experiences or as fantasy fiction. I’ve recently come back to myself and have given up the fight against this part of my identity. So here we are, many chapters and scenes and late nights into two entirely different romance novels. But like my novels, I and my process are a complete work in progress. I plan to self-publish and will shamelessly peddle copies of my fantasy smut all around the midwest from the trunk of my car.

Steve Retka is an independent author with a love for storytelling. He lives in Minneapolis with his wife and two kids, finding small moments among the chaos to write.
