Bound to Darkness: The Beginning is the epic origin tale that unlocks the ancient, blood-soaked world behind The Turning Series.

Hidden deep in the forests of Stockwood, Washington, human twins Apollo and Amaya Shelly are raised in secret, sheltered from the truth pulsing through their blood.

Days before their eighteenth birthday, that illusion shatters. They discover that the family they trust, the only one they have ever known, is not human. For eighteen years, they have lived among a vampire clan, mistaking predators for kin. Until the blood contract comes due.

Their fate is already sealed. They are destined to awaken as immortals. And darkness does not wait.

As the twins unravel the terrifying legacy bound to their existence, they must confront not only what they are destined to become, but the truth of what they already are.

From the ashes of betrayal and blood rises a saga of lineage, loss, rage, and the unbreakable bond between two souls born into chaos.

Before the war begins... before the rise of Apollo… they are bound to darkness.
