Spiritbound

Summary:

When a violent spirit curse begins destroying the Sitthikornkan estate, a strict white-magic shaman from Ubon Ratchathani, Porkru Pharan is called to save Rawi.

The last person he expects to deal with is Phutson—a sharp-mouthed little menace who keeps challenging him at every turn.

But the more Pharan refuses to be affected by his attitude, the more Phutson finds himself nervous around the only man he can’t seem to control.
