🌑 START HERE -- Welcome to Bound by Dark by E.Kane

Bound by Dark is a collection of seductive, shadow-drenched short stories that follow Empress Kane, ruler of the Dark Court, and Nyx, her horned Fae Warrior King, whose loyalty and desire run dangerously deep. Each story is its own dark, intoxicating moment, sometimes tender, sometimes brutal, always charged with power and magic.

• Fae magic, dark-court intrigue, and dangerous sensuality

• BDSM-rooted power exchange

• Emotional depth, feral devotion, and tension sharp enough to cut

• A bond that grows darker, deeper, and more cosmic with every installment

If you’re new, this reading order gives you the most immersive experience.

***Stories will be released twice a week. Wednesdays and Sundays.
