The Binding

Imagine a world where books are not stories, but memories bound within pages, taken from people who long to forget. Emmett Farmer, a young man apprenticed to a binder, discovers that he has a rare gift for the craft. As he learns the trade, he realizes that every volume hides a secret—someone’s truth, pain, or past. But when Emmett stumbles upon a book with his own name on it, he uncovers a dangerous truth about himself, the people he loves, and the power of memory. The Binding is a spellbinding tale of love, loss, and the fragile line between truth and lies.
