The Binding Hour: A Dark Paranormal Romance of Ritual Magic and Urban Witchcraft (The Unbound #1)
Andrew Yahodka
A Dark Paranormal Romance rooted in ritual practice
Irene does not make careless circles.
Her salt is measured.
Her lines are exact.
Every working begins with intention and ends with closure.
She has never allowed a ritual to follow her home.
Until now.
At 2:17 a.m., in a glass-walled apartment overlooking the city, she performs a containment working designed to seal a thinning threshold. The correspondences are correct. The circle is intact. The boundary is clean.
Something answers anyway.
It does not cross the salt.
It does not disturb the candles.
It does not claim her name.
It stands beyond the glass.
Watching.
Night after night, the presence returns — not to invade, not to possess, but to remain. The distance between them never changes.
And yet, it tightens.
Irene has spent her life mastering separation — between worlds, between forces, between herself and attachment.
But what happens when a boundary holds perfectly… and something chooses to stay on the other side?
This is not a story of reckless summoning.
It is a story of control.
Of tension sustained.
Of connection formed without touch.
For readers who love:
• grounded ritual magic
• urban witchcraft aesthetics
• slow-burn paranormal romance
• powerful, self-contained heroines
• presence that lingers instead of consumes
The Binding Hour is an atmospheric paranormal romance where discipline meets desire — and the most dangerous bond is the one that never crosses the line.
