Description
Dark magic threatens the BDSM community in New York. Good thing Mira’s got her boots on and a whip in her bag.
Mira is a massage therapist in New York City. Still stinging over the betrayal of her ex, she puts on her corset to attend a kinky club night and gets far more than she bargained for. She meets a new playmate who seems to satisfy her every whim, igniting desires she had thought were dead.
Clive is a thrillseeker whose favorite place to get an adrenaline rush is on the receiving end of a whip, or while kneeling at someone’s feet. Mira seems like Clive’s sweetest dreams come true.
But Clive harbors secrets. An underground society of ritual sex magic practitioners is recruiting him, and neither Clive nor Mira are prepared for what happens when Clive’s dark powers are unleashed. Caught up in a battle between good and evil, Mira and Clive grow ever closer, but can Mira solve the mystery of Clive’s darkest memory in time to save him... and maybe the world?
Bound by the Blood combines paranormal romance with dark contemporary romantasy into a spicy thrillride.

Advance Praise
“Cecilia Tan has always been ahead of her time. She was bringing us sophisticated stories about BDSM and the BDSM community before it became popular. With the Vanished Chronicles she may well have invented an exciting new genre. This book blends urban fantasy with erotic romance, using soulful intelligence and elegant prose as glue. The relationships are compelling and rich, but they’re accompanied by a supernatural world that offers a fascinating and unforgettable take on the cosmic and spiritual significance of eroticism.”
—CHRISTOPHER RICE, New York Times bestselling author and producer of Interview with the Vampire
