Rites of Runes: Rituals of Power and Pain (Altar Brides #1)
Katie Diego

Echo was never meant for the ordinary. Tall, inked in ancient runes, and born with a hunger for something deeper, darker—she is chosen by the forest ritual to become a vessel. A bride. A sacrifice.
Bound in braided restraints. Touched by masked dominants. Watched by the moon and marked by the gods. Her surrender is sacred... and irreversible.
Through trials of pain, worship, and powerplay, Echo is stripped of name and pride. What remains is flesh, fire, and raw devotion.
But the ritual has only begun.
Rites of Runes is an ultra-erotic dark fantasy novella with Male/ Female and Female/ Female scenes, primal submission, ceremonial gangbangs, body markings, and intense power exchange. It begins the Altar Brides series—each book a standalone descent into elemental ritual and raw sensuality.
