Bound in Darkness

In this romantasy from the New York Times–bestselling author, a man partners with a pretty thief to steal enough power to defeat the god who tormented him. Maxum and his brothers had won immortality—along with the fury of the gods—by a single act of hubris over two centuries ago. Each has been cursed by the gods and each has escaped the curse—except for Maxum, whose fate is to be entombed in the earth over and over, his body crushed by rock and soil then restored once more, only to be tormented again. Knowing the god who binds him thrives on his suffering, Maxum's only escape is to destroy the god. On a quest for the talismans that will aid him in taking down an immortal, Maxum is nearly stripped of his relics when he encounters a very skilled—and very alluring—thief. Believing he should keep this captivating enemy close, Maxum strikes a bargain with the stealthy beauty to join him on his search. Airianne proves invaluable on the journey, earning his trust, his admiration—and his passion. But will the beautiful bandit also steal his heart?
