Avery Asteria was far from having anyone's dream job. Family circumstances had him drop out of school and flying around the expanse of space looking for treasure among the discarded trash in an old ship his father had been restoring. It was far from glamorous work, but it was all he could do to earn the money he needed. He was not the only one looking for fortune among the stars, though. One day a score that looked too good to be true led to a run in with a band of pirates. With some quick wits and a bit of luck, Avery managed to escape the worst, but he ended up missing out on collecting the valuable salvage he had his sights on. Having lost a large chunk of his gear in his flight from the pirates, Avery seemed to be truly at the end of his rope. However, a twist of fate led him to discovering an experimental vessel that had been lost to the far reaches of space. With this new ship in his possession, his prospects were looking up. It had everything and more than what any spacefarer could want. And Avery was going to use it to become the leader of the greatest band of mercenaries in the galaxy.

Rowen thought her life was predictable—work, walks through the woods, and the occasional argument with her roommate. But a single glowing mark changes everything, pulling her into Vireth, a realm where magic breathes life into danger. Stranded with no way home, Rowen finds herself tied to Dryanden, a stoic vampire with a sharp blade and sharper secrets. Forced to adapt, the two become Helpers, taking on the impossible jobs that others won’t—tracking monsters, unraveling curses, and confronting magic that defies reason. Each case draws them deeper into a world of peril and intrigue, where every answer uncovers more questions, and the stakes are always life and death. As Rowen’s untamed magic begins to awaken and Dryanden’s past resurfaces, their bond deepens, intertwining their fates in ways neither could have predicted. But with every solved mystery, the threads of fate tighten around them, threatening to expose a secret that could shatter Vireth itself. In Bound by Blood and Magic: My Journey Through a Dangerous Otherworld, every adventure is a step closer to the truth—and a reminder that some doors, once opened, can never be closed.
