Description

Bonds of Cupidity continues Cupid's search for love in this sizzling and addictively playful romantasy from bestselling and TikTok phenomenon, Raven Kennedy.

She spent years in the Veil as an invisible cupid, unable to talk, touch, or love anyone, which made her a little bitter.

Now, Emelle has a life . . . and a bounty on her head. The fae prince wants her dead, and her three gorgeous genfins are arrested. The royal culling trials are about to begin, but Emelle isn't going to let everything be taken from her without a fight.

There's rebellion in the air, a princess who's not all she appears to be, and a lamassu fae who claims to be Emelle's mate.

Love is getting complicated. But to a cupid, it always is.
