Bayou of Sin & Shadow

Dark Fantasy Romance

https://mybook.to/Bayouofsinshadow

A blood-bound bargain born in a New Orleans apothecary has set fate in motion. Drawn back to the city where her grandmother once traded power for survival, Amara is pulled into a world where darkness and power intertwine.

With every choice, she is pulled further into temptation—toward danger, desire, and the truth buried in her blood. Rivals lurk, secrets emerge, and she must confront who she is willing to become. To embrace Kane is to embrace her power—and surrender to his darkness. 

Kane is the keeper of what bleeds through the cracks between the underworld and the mortal realm in Sombres Des Pécheurs. Torn between collecting a debt and tempting Amara with a desire for darkness, she just might be his undoing.
