Dreambound. A dark urban fantasy novel - Pietro Caracciolo

When Lorenzo accepts a ticket to the fortune teller's tent at a traveling circus, he thinks he is stepping into little more than a strange evening of cards, mystery, and curiosity. What he finds instead is Ortensia-a girl with blue eyes, a hidden burden, and a power that seems to reach beyond the present-and Seth, the fortune teller who keeps her trapped beneath a spell of dreams and control.

Drawn into a world where tarot is not just symbol but force, where dreams can bind as tightly as chains, and where time itself seems to bend around forgotten lives, Lorenzo is forced to confront a truth far more dangerous than he imagined. Ortensia did not choose him by chance. The invitation was deliberate. The connection between them is real. And Seth has been waiting.

As the circus closes in and the boundary between reality and nightmare begins to dissolve, Lorenzo must decide whether he is willing to challenge a power that has shaped lives across time. To save Ortensia, he will have to face the hidden logic of fate itself-and discover that some destinies are not written to be accepted, but to be broken.

Dark, atmospheric, and steeped in tarot symbolism, Dreambound is the first book in The Dreamweaver Chronicles.
