Episode Details

🎙️ Welcome back to The Mythic Mic Podcast, where fated mates are complicated, monster legacies come with curses, and sometimes rejecting four powerful men only makes them more obsessed.

This week, hosts Bethany Amanda and Sara Santillan are joined by team member Amara for a wildly fun conversation with author Morgan B. Lee about Blood Oath, the first book in the Cursed Legacies series, a why choose paranormal academy romance filled with monster descendants, fated bonds, secret missions, deadly cinnamon rolls, and one heroine determined not to fall for the men the gods chose for her.

Morgan shares her journey as a lifelong writer, from writing stories as a kid to publishing under a pen name, stepping away after a brutal review, and eventually returning with the spite, resilience, and determination that helped Blood Oath become a reader-favorite series. She opens up about failure, bad reviews, imposter syndrome, special editions, and why publishing your book is survivable even when the fear feels huge.

The conversation also dives into Everbound University, where descendants of monsters train, form bonds, and work to break the curses placed on them by the gods. When Maven arrives with a secret mission and every intention of staying invisible, the gods match her with the four most powerful men at the school. Her solution? Reject them. Their solution? Become even more obsessed.

🖤 What happens when a black cat heroine rejects the bond the gods chose for her?
🔥 Can four powerful men who barely get along work together for the woman they all need?
💀 And why is everyone obsessed with the nightmare prince who gives finger bouquets?
