BOUND IN BLOOM A Dark Interracial Supernatural Gothic Romance
A 150-year-old curse. A tech empire corrupted by ancient magic. A captive who becomes a god.
In 1858, a Gullah conjure woman cast a curse that would earn interest through centuries of blood. Now, tech billionaire Malachi "Ape" King-who has tracked one woman through his algorithms for seventeen years-is about to learn that some debts can't be paid in code.
When Sofija Sever's brother trades her to settle his gambling debts, she awakens in a Missouri mansion where cotton pushes through marble floors and AI systems whisper prophecies in forgotten tongues.
Her captor plans to own her. The house has other plans. Malachi plans to possess her. Sofija plans to bring him to his knees.
As copper threads weave through her skin and her biology streams to quantum servers, Sofija's transformation begins. She isn't just becoming Malachi's captive-she's becoming the Peach-Bearer, vessel for a supernatural debt that turns masters into worshippers and algorithms into ash.
In this haunted house built on blood-soaked soil, where server fans choke on impossible pollen and digital empires crumble before conjure, the real question isn't who owns whom-it's whether either of them will survive what blooms.
Bound in Bloom is a Southern Gothic fever-dream where prophecy, fetish, and liberation collide. Grounded in meticulous historical and cultural research, it is an immersive experience that journeys from the Gullah-Geechee coasts of the 19th century to the real-world cities of modern-day Slovenia, featuring language and dialect crafted with the help of native speakers to honor the cultures it represents.
For readers of Haunting Adeline, Den of Vipers, and Kredence who crave dark romance that's not just strange and scorching-but racial, ritual, and reckoning.
