Broken Bonds (The Bonds that Tie Book 1)

Product Information

Oli: "Atlas, I hope you’re ready for the most uncomfortable meal you’ve ever eaten in your life because this is about to get rough.” I thought that the death of the man who tortured me, broke me, and then hunted me to the ends of the Earth would be the end of our fight; but it’s only the beginning.

Atlas: “You could go there naked and I would still worship you… everyone else would just have to die. A sacrifice I’m prepared to make.”

The series is told primarily from the first-person POV of Oli, though later in the series it starts switching more regularly between Nox, Gabe, Atlas, North, and Gryphon, as well as Oli. This is a paranormal reverse harem series, so there’s not one main love interest. Their entire society revolves around multiple pairings in a bond group with a central bond (individual) in the middle, usually with the pairs being male and female, though it’s not uncommon that there might be some bisexual pairings within the same bond group. But the majority of the bonds are in place for stronger lineage and to balance power dynamics within the groups. Something that we learn has been manipulative with several groups outside of the main one we’re following. Not just in this generation but the one prior. No spoilers on who though. Kieran: “You’re in so far over your head, she’s going to eat you all alive and I’m going to enjoy the show.”

These powers grow when the group goes from Bonds to Bonded with Oli. I won’t spoil how their dynamic or powers change, but it makes things interesting. Especially considering how against the Bonding that Oli was. All things she had valid reasons to be concerned about. And it’s not like she just gave into it all at once, each one of the relationships goes about it slightly differently in how they get to that final Bonded stage. I won’t spoil it, but my goodness some of them are something else. I feel bad for the characters in a way because of the way it happens (some are forced in a way due to circumstances that I’m not going to get into). The Bonds that Tie Series is a full-length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. It'sAtlas: “If you burn, I burn with you. You’re not alone, Oli, not for one second. I told you before, I’m not afraid.” North: Death Dealer – Controls shadows but they are rabid in comparison to Nox’s shadows and leave behind acid. Also can tell how an individual dies by touching them. Oleander (Oli): Soul-Render – Can take the souls out of any individuals (instantly killing them) or make them go insane to the point where they die due to the horrors placed in their minds. There's no healing the things that were done to him, in the same way that there's no healing the things that were done to me. Recovery isn't about wiping the board clean. Recovery is learning how to function around all of the scars and open wounds inside of us. IN COLLABORATION WITH J.

The series also dynamically changes as time goes on. It starts out with a college student learning how to navigate normal life after spending years on the run, though we don’t know exactly why she was on the run for quite some time. And how her entire bond group feels about her taking off on them when they were all set to take her in and love her after the death of her parents. So, we spend a lot of the books with Oli not wanting them to get close for a number of reasons: fear they will be targeted, fear her powers will grow (something she has been repressing for years), and fear that they will never accept her if they learn the truth of what happened to her all those years ago. It never feels like a different series, but the dynamic between everyone changes especially as they figure out how each other’s past, learn to forgive each other, and work together to deal with the Resistance that wants to wipe out all non-Magic/Bond individuals and control the population. Atlas: “Take whatever the hell you want from me, take everything. You want my car too? That one might hurt a little but only if you’re shit at driving.” Nox: “Not even death can keep us apart. Every part of you belongs to me, and I will tear any man apart who dares to get in my way. Bond or not.”We have been pushed to the limit, tested in ways that have devastating outcomes, and paid the ultimate price. Can we recover from such losses? Is the promise of a world without our enemy worth the sacrifices we’ve made? I’m no longer the Giftless reject, no longer the girl who’s fair game to the other students for daring to run away from my Bonds.

After thousands of years of being apart, our god bonds are reunited once again; and they’re not ready to go down without a fight. Everything I ran from, all of the villains of my past, they’re all here to take another bite out of me. But this time, I’m not alone.He rolls his eyes and hands them to me without uttering a word, and I decide that I’m keeping him forever. Keeping my secrets, not loathing me for my gift, and sharing his food with me even when I’ve eaten enough already not to warrant it? He might be it for me. Can I prove myself and turn the tide to protect our most vulnerable, or am I nothing more than the monster they’ve always claimed I am? When it becomes clear that the Resistance is closer than we ever thought, I don’t know who I can trust. WefoTo ke ke SANQY aIdH QI N1 M LA R SANQYG NAVQHUINN THE B 0 N 3 J,.
