Book Synopsis
What are you willing to do to save the ones you love?
My name is Lura, and it’s a question I need to answer after witnessing my family being forced into slavery. At the time, that answer seemed so simple. I’d do anything to save my family. Anything. Even now, after all, I have been through and endured at the hands of others, the answer still remains the same. I’d do anything for my family, even if it means giving up everything I am, because it is my fault they’ve been enslaved. It’s all my fault.
If only I had listened. If only I had done what was right instead of what was easy. Then they’d still be here. Why did I act so selfishly?
Because of my actions, those whom I love most have paid the price. That is why I must do whatever it takes to free them. Whatever it takes…
Join me on my journey to free my family.
The Bound Soul is a small prequel book of the Broken Souls in the Seasons of the Cycle series. It’s also included in the Broken Souls novel along with the Damaged Soul, Bothvar’s story. The Series is a Dark Fantasy with a bit of romance. It’s inspired by Viking culture, but it is in no way an accurate portrayal of historical Viking culture. It takes place within a fantasy world that’s heavily influenced by ancient mythology and lore of many different cultures among other things. That being said, this book contains some pretty graphic and controversial topics such as slavery, sexual assault, death, war, violence, blood, mental health, drug addiction, and many other controversial topics.

Note From the Author
Part 1 and 2: The Damaged Soul/The Bound Soul
Part 1 and Part 2 are presented in separate books that are prequels and are made free. Part 1: The Damaged Soul tells the story of Bodvar’s journey from covering his childhood through his first raid. In Part 2: The Bound Soul, we follow Lura’s journey through her childhood, up until she’s arrested and put in chains. Part 3: the Broken Souls combines both part 1 and part 2 along with part 3 into the book 1, interweaving them into one big story while continuing their journey until they meet, which will be continued in part 4. If you’ve read either part 1 or part 2, you can feel free to skip Bothvar or Lura’s chapters until you reach the end of Part 1 or Part 2. Since Bothvar’s journey is a bit longer in Part 1, his journey will start up later in part 3 while Lura’s journey will start earlier in the book in Part 3.
