Dire Bound (Deluxe Limited Edition) — Sable Sorensen

Only the worthy survive the Bonding Trials.

Meryn Cooper has spent her life despising the Bonded, elite warriors who form powerful mental links with deadly direwolves. While they live in privilege, she fights to keep her family alive. But when her sister is taken, Meryn is left with no choice.

Determined to cross enemy lines and bring her home, Meryn enters the brutal Bonding Trials, where failure means death. Thrown into a world of ruthless competition, she must survive relentless training, deadly rivals, and a direwolf who refuses to bond with her.

As tensions rise inside the castle walls, so does the danger. Secrets lurk in every shadow, alliances are fragile, and attraction simmers where it should not. With enemies on all sides and her heart on the line, Meryn must decide what she is willing to sacrifice to survive.
