​​"Moonbound: A Southeast Asian Gothic Romance"​​ In the shadows of sacred temples where blood-stained scrolls whisper ancient curses, a forbidden passion ignites between Ananta—silver-furred Alpha of a cursed werewolf clan—and Maya, a warrior-princess bearing glowing Cambodian runes that bind their fates. When synchronized wounds bleed silver across their bodies, fragmented memories erupt: a blood moon ritual where Maya's dagger pierced Ananta's heart, binding their souls through sacred betrayal.
