Magic Captive

(2026)
(The fifth book in the Cursed Shifters series)
A novel by

 
 
In this savage why choose romantasy, fated mates, dark obsession, and tangled devotion ensnare one broken heroine in a ruthless game of survival and forbidden magic with three lethal serpentine shifters.

A hunted Chosen.
A poisoned serpent bond.
Three ruthless shifters who want my magic or my ruin.

In a decaying Faerie where anyone magical is hunted, I am the secret this land wants dead. I wake in a frozen cave to Britheva demanding the ancient grimoire she claims is hidden inside me. I don’t have magic. If I did, I wouldn’t be a slave. The lowest of the low.

A nightmare finds me in the form of three serpentine shifters with eyes like knives and hunger I feel in my bones. Navaree, Seakal, and Talesian claim I’m their fated mate, the Chosen one with magic that will save worlds, unlocked when I give my heart. Every touch shatters me. Every promise feels like a trap. They say the bond is power, not slavery. I call danger.

Love is just another way to bleed. To control.

The magic inside me refuses to stay quiet. The bond ignites despite my best attempts to suppress it. Rage, lust, terror. My soul-light twists with theirs until I can’t tell fear from longing.

If I surrender, will I finally belong or just become someone else’s captive?
