Forever Bound In Stone

A Halloween Fated Mates MM Monster Romance

By: Pierce Arden

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

He carved stories into stone. The stone reached back.

Folklorist Jude Rowan descends into an Appalachian cavern to escape grief and gather fragments of myth. But the altar he uncovers is more than relic and ruin—it is a Veiled Place, where silence hums with memory and every tremor carries his name.

Kael, the obsidian golem bound beneath the mountain, has endured centuries of stillness—aching for touch, for devotion, for release. His strength is carved into the earth itself, his hands the only ones strong enough to hold a heart that refuses to heal.

Jude should turn back.
Instead, he surrenders to the stone.

As grief fractures into longing, Jude must decide whether to climb back into daylight or embrace a vow written in shadow, earth, and unbreakable devotion.
