About Bound to My Captor

Episode 1: The Captive's Touch — Elara wakes in a frozen cell with no memory of her own name, and the Soul-Thief watching her flinches at her touch.

In Varethia, memory is currency, and Elara has lost all of hers. She wakes in a frozen cell with iron at her wrists and no idea of her own name. Beyond the bars sits a tall man in black and gold, watching her with unreadable patience. They call him the Soul-Thief. He serves the Quorum, and his task is to unlock her mind.

Three years ago the old kingdom burned. The Quorum took the throne, Chancellor Vane took power, and the kingdom's last heir vanished into the snow. Somewhere in Elara's broken memory is the one thing Vane wants most.

Lucian should hand her to the mind-breakers. Instead he keeps her at Ashgrave Hall, a fortress of snow-lashed windows, dusty libraries and sealed doors, and defies a tribunal to do it. When Elara touches him, he flinches as if burned. When she steals a memory from him, it shows her own face, laughing. Then she finds a vow written in her own hand, and a chapel door with her name carved beneath a light that still breathes.

Bound to My Captor is a dark fantasy romance of captivity, stolen memories, a starlight oath and a man who never begs. Season one has six episodes of about a minute each, and the first three are free. For adults (18+).
