By: Morgan Rice

Narrated by: Ruth Ipince

BLOODBOUND: CYCLE ONE is the first book in an enthralling new romantasy series by USA Today bestseller Morgan Rice, whose books have over 10,000 five-star ratings.

In the kingdom of Lumenhearth, the color and intensity of a magic-user’s blood indicates not only their power, but their social standing. Mixed-bloods are not only highly volatile—they’re illegal.

18-year-old Violet Lumaris has learned to hide her purple luminescent veins. But her sheltered life shatters when her guardian dies, and her unique blood manifests powers for the first time.

While fleeing Lumenhearth's guards, she reluctantly allies with Ash Rustwood, a royal blood hunter with red magic whose mission is to capture her—but who becomes intrigued by her mysterious abilities. As they journey together, their initial animosity slowly transforms into trust, even as Violet struggles to control her unpredictable magic.

In this enchanting romantasy series, a world of magic and fantasy blends with passionate romance, in a mix that will leave you spellbound…

Future books in the series are available!
