Magical Tether

Three hundred years after the Great War leveled the old world, humanity clings to the ruins — and it is no longer alone. Shifters, magic-wielders, and creatures that hunt in the dark now move openly among the survivors, and everyone is fighting to do more than just stay alive. Sheryl McIntosh is the daughter of a shifter alpha, a woman who can slip into the body of a jaguar and who guards a hidden, magic-sealed library that once belonged to her late mother. It's the one place in this broken world that's hers — until Ryan finds his way inside. He shouldn't be able to. He's no shifter, and a human has no business breaching wards woven from magic. Yet there he is: maddening, magnetic, far too sure of himself, calling her Princess like he already knows how this ends. Her jaguar is certain he's their fated mate. Sheryl is certain it's impossible. Fate, she's about to learn, doesn't ask for permission. But a mate bond is the least of the dangers circling her clan. Old powers are stirring, challenges are being settled the old-fashioned way, and the truth of what Ryan really is may be the one thing that can save them all — or tear everything apart. ⚠️ Mature.
