From Sunday Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood comes Bound and Unbound, an intoxicating paranormal romance duology brought together in one stunning edition.

Featuring gorgeous four-colour interior artwork by Lilithsaur, beautiful gold-foiled elements, and a unique flip-book format, this edition is a must-have for fans of Ali Hazelwood's signature romantic tension with a dark, supernatural twist.

Bound

A reluctant con artist. A secretive professor. An ancient manuscript that binds them together.

Veronica “Vero” Mercer grew up with con artists for parents, so deception is practically second nature to her. When graduate-school bills pile up and her friends find themselves in trouble, Vero turns her art-history expertise into a side business creating forgeries.

What begins as a temporary solution soon attracts the attention of Dr. Viktor Ashworth, a reserved British professor with secrets of his own. Instead of exposing Vero, Viktor politely kidnaps her and makes her an unusual offer: forge a mysterious ancient manuscript for him.

As Vero spends long nights working alongside Viktor, studying rare vellum samples and obscure inks, the assignment becomes increasingly dangerous. The manuscript holds secrets that could change everything, and Viktor's true intentions remain uncertain. As their professional arrangement grows more complicated, Vero must decide whether she can trust the professor—and why she finds herself unable to resist him.

Blending dark academia, magical mystery, deception, and irresistible romantic tension, Bound is a story about secrets, attraction, and the risks of getting too close to someone who may be hiding the truth.

Unbound

An immortal woman who has survived five thousand years. A doctor determined to save lives. A forbidden love that could destroy them both.

Lilit of Nineveh has lived for millennia, outlasting empires and mastering the dangerous existence of a powerful revenant. Guided by one unwavering rule—to protect mortals—she has learned to maintain control and keep emotional attachments at a distance. For Lilit, love is a weakness she cannot afford.

Then she meets Roman Martin, an overworked but relentlessly compassionate emergency-room physician who challenges the carefully controlled world she has built. Despite everything she believes, Lilit finds herself repeatedly drawn back to him. Their connection threatens the boundaries she has spent centuries defending.

But when someone begins hunting Lilit, Roman is pulled into a deadly conflict he never asked to join. As vengeance closes in and their lives become entangled, Lilit faces an impossible choice: remain faithful to the world she has sworn to protect or risk everything for the mortal man she was never meant to love.

Dark, emotional, and filled with supernatural danger, Unbound explores immortality, sacrifice, vengeance, and the terrifying power of a love that refuses to remain forbidden.
