Welcome to Darmid, where magic is a sin, fairy tales are contraband, and the people live in fear of the Sorcerers on the other side of the mountains.
Rowan Greenwood has everything she’s supposed to want from life — a good family, a bright future, and a proposal from a handsome and wealthy magic hunter. She knows she should be content with what she has. If only she could banish the idea that … idea that there’s more to life than marriage and children, or let go of the fascination with magic she’s been forced to suppress since childhood.
When Rowan unknowingly saves the life of one of her people’s most feared enemies, that simple act of compassion rips her from her sheltered life and throws her into a world of magic that’s more beautiful, more seductive, and more dangerous than she ever could have imagined.
Rowan might get everything she ever dreamed of — that is, if the one thing she’s always wanted doesn’t kill her first.

A very hard life for her
interesting story in an interesting time period. Characters well drawn and compelling
Educational and entertaining
I liked this book a lot. It was a good follow up to her other book “The
Widow s War” and very interesting as to the customs of that time.
So enjoyed this. Revolutionary time period. Great characters and vivid description. Storyline was very good and kept surprising me. Enjoyed.
interesting look into the world of indentured servitude. the colonial period is one of my favorite times to learn more about. the description of weaving,harvesting flax,and making yarn, i thought interesting. i enjoyed the lead female character and was empathetic to her situation esp in this time of “me too”.
Fiction based on fact, I love American history & this book is chuck full of learning. Time frame is pre-revalution era. It is part of a series but stands on its own.
A moving historical drama. Rich in little known history. Interesting reading.
Travel to a time and place you’ve probably never thought about. Inhabit the mind of a person you could never have been.
Although I only gave it 3 stars this was really quite a good book. I think my dilemma with the book was the sometimes long long long self reflections in the book. Dithering is not one of my favorite traits in characters. The protagonists ability to survive is not matched by her decision making or the authors writing of her thought process. . …
Engaging historical fiction.
Bound is about an child indentured servant growing up. Very engrossing. I also read The Widows War by the same author, Sally Cabot Gunning. The Widows War is a well written historical novel seen from a woman’s point of view. Social conventions and lifestyle for the time period were accurate.
I loved this book!!! well written and interesting and a new spin on colonial historical fiction.
Interesting book abou indentured servants at the brink of the revolutionary war.
Enjoyed this book and some history of our early beginings
If you are a New Englander or are interested in Pre-revolutionary times this is a nice read.
Interesting. Historically accurate. Not deep, but informative.
You will enjoy learned by about the customs of the day. A very good book for historical fiction fans.
Very well written and informative piece of history. Tragic events that we often over look but actually happened.
Informative regarding the period but with a maddeningly obtuse main character. Lots of excellent historical detail. Did not always make emotional sense.
