Tethered Spirits (Book 1 in the Curse of Shavhalla Series)

A spellbinding tale full of magic, adventure, & heartfelt emotion.

Amar is searching for his lost memories, hoping they will reveal more about the curse that plagues him. With support from loyal friends, he may finally be on the verge of finding answers. To succeed, he’ll need to enlist the help of an unexpected guide.

Kesari is a Tarja, granted magical abilities through her Bond with a spirit named Lucian. Haunted by past mistakes that have left her desperate to give up her magic, Kesari has her own reasons for agreeing to help Amar. But in doing so, she may finally have to face her unresolved fears.

Meanwhile, a young refugee named Aleida is in pursuit, convinced the secret behind Amar’s curse can save her brother from a fatal illness. With nothing left to lose, Aleida will do whatever it takes to achieve her goal.

When their paths collide, all three are set on a journey to unravel a mystery far deeper than they ever suspected.

If you enjoyed the whimsy of Howl’s Moving Castle and the character relationships in Six of Crows, you’ll love this book.
