emotional mysterious fast-paced
The Curse That Binds is a spellbinding prequel to the Bewitched series that gives readers a deeper look into how Memnon and Roxilana’s epic love story began. Thalassa weaves a mesmerizing tale full of fated love, powerful magic, betrayal, and heartbreaking sacrifice. While technically a prequel, I highly recommend reading it after the first two books to fully appreciate the emotional weight and foreshadowing. One thing’s for sure—after finishing this one, I’m desperate for book three! 


Read if you enjoy:


💘, fated mates

🔮, magical awakening 

 👑 secret royalty

⚔️ enemies to lovers (kind of) 

 💥 power couple
