The Curse That Binds (Standard Edition) (The Bewitched Series), Laura Thalassa | Paperback
A queen destined for magic. A king cursed by love. A fate no one could outrun.
Before Selene, there was Roxilana. Discover her darkly delicious origin story in this prequel to Bewitched, a complete standalone from TikTok sensation Laura Thalassa.
He called her queen―then turned her world to ash.
Two thousand years before the rise of Henbane Coven, Roxilana was just a Roman girl trying to survive the shadows of empire. Until the day a voice begins speaking inside her head.
That voice belongs to Memnon, King of the Sarmatians―a warrior touched by gods, cursed by fate, and utterly convinced that Roxilana is his soul mate.
When Roxilana's latent powers awaken, Memnon appears at her door with a crown in one hand and destiny in the other. Before she knows it, she's swept away to a strange new land and named queen of a people she barely understands…and wife to a man whose love is as intense as it is terrifying.
Magic always demands a price. And as Roxilana learns the true cost of Memnon's power, passion, and prophecy, she must decide whether to build an empire beside her cursed king…or burn it to the ground.
Tropes to love:
* Fated mates
* Telepathic bond
* Historical fantasy
* Morally gray love interest
* Magic with a price
* Deadly power couple
* Doomed love (or is it?)
Perfect for fans of:
* The Hades X Persephone saga by Scarlett St. Clair
* The Bridge Kingdom series by Danielle L. Jensen
* The Plated Prisoner series by Raven Kennedy
* The Crowns of Nyaxia series by Clarissa Broadbent

I hate Ophelia because Blackwell should be with me 🥲

10/10 recommend!! Smut syndicate puts so much thought and love into their blind dates. So much that they reach out and look at your fable or good reads and really try to perfect your date. I look forward to this every single month

Read this in a day! Could not recommend enough. My favorite is there are sprinkles of little mermaid throughout, but other than that this is a story you would NEVER expect

Perfect for bringing my book to the beach!!!

I sent a blind date with a book to a friend and she loved it! Ordering was super easy and shipped so so fast. Highly recommend 💜

My blind date with a book was everything I hoped for and more! Unwrapping it felt like opening a gift from a friend who really gets me. The book I received was in my TBR for months! The story made me laugh, cry, and stay up way too late, but I have zero regrets. It’s the kind of date you want to tell everyone about—and I already can’t wait for the next one!

Aghhhhhhhhhh! It was so cuteeeeeeeeeee! Will be ordering again!
