Of Soulbound Sacrifice
The Manacles of Ice and Blood Series, Book 1
By Scarlet Tempest
It should be a straightforward kill for a Siren warrior. The only problem is she loves her target more than life itself.
Zaynab is finally free to find her way in the world. She thinks she is going to find Demerise, the girl she used to love, until she finds herself staring into the glowing green eyes of a blue-haired Siren on the eve of her execution. With a blade to her throat and a heart that begs for more, will Zaynab find a way to be with the woman she loves, or will she lose herself in the depths?
Brina is the fiercest warrior princess in Clan Brinneagh. She has spent her entire life training to lead her clan, which is going swimmingly. Perfectly, in fact, until she finds herself staring into the maple eyes of a land-dweller she is sent by her clan to kill. The choice for Brina is as simple as the age-old adage goes…kill or be killed.

Trigger/Content Warning:
There are scenes containing fantasy violence/attacks/battles. There is on the page scenes containing amputation/loss of limb written by an amputee (2 scenes). There is on the page unwelcome sexual contact in a bar (groping where the perpetrator receives instant justice by having their hand cut off). There are on the page instances of alcoholism and a character struggling with PTSD. There are tons of familial conflicts and very toxic matriarchal figures. There is tension and at times hatred between Sirens and land-dwellers.
