In a world where power is currency and women are pawns, Ava Campelli has just been sold to the highest bidder through a wedding veil.

And one day soon, she may burn the whole kingdom down. A story of power, pain, and the quiet beginnings of rebellion—Bound By Blood and Vows is a haunting tale of a girl who learns that surviving is only the beginning and if she can't win his heart, then she will steal it when she leaves.
