The cost of a tempting contract. Plunged into her world of whispered threats and intoxicating deception, Seth walks the thin line between gratitude and fear. Now, the greatest threat comes from within: a sharp, undeniable attraction he doesn't dare name.

A compass without directions. A legacy without answers. A silence that hides more than secrets. When a long-buried heirloom pulls its bearer into the wilderness, the path becomes anything but straightforward. Forests fold in on themselves, memories blur with myth, and the past returns in fragments: sometimes as whispers, sometimes as faces. What begins as a journey north becomes a labyrinth of grief, inheritance, and the haunting truths families leave unspoken. Each step forward draws her deeper into landscapes that shift like mirrors: a house that remembers, doors that demand choices, voices that tempt with endings disguised as mercy. What waits beyond is not simply survival, but a confrontation with the weight of love, silence, and the lure of surrender. Dark, unsettling, and threaded with mystery this is a story of what we inherit, what we carry, and what waits when we dare to follow a path that should never be walked.

𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 & 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 Revenge Countless souls have fallen prey to its grasp, their lives shattered as deeply as those they sought to harm, if not more so. For most, mere death isn't the end It's not enough to satiate their thirst They crave retribution, wish for something beyond the grave. They want misery upon those who've wronged them. Long for the torment of those who've wounded them But at the end of the day, it's merely a wish, A burning desire for- well, nothing realistic, really For they are weak. Powerless Some may even deem them useless But then, there exist the select few- those who refuse to settle for anything less than the worst, denying death's grasp to unleash a living hell upon their enemies, Those who take matters into their own hands, seizing control & becoming the architects of their own vengeance, Now those, those are dangerous. For in their eyes, the concept of contentment is a foreign notion, replaced by a searing ache for more- More agony, despair. More misery, more wails. More destruction, chaos. People like him, they feed off of fear, thrive in causing pain. They're cunning, calculating, heartless But frankly, even the most twisted of them seem like harmless amateurs in comparison to him. He reeks of death Exudes darkness, sorrow Death is all that shadows his steps, making his existence a reminder of the inevitable fate that awaits his victims. And whispers in the Russian underworld speak of him as Mors- The god of death So, what happens when a girl, who abandoned her family, her life & the very empire bestowed upon her- just to escape the sight of death, catches the eyes of the reaper? What happens when he pulls her into the abyss of his world, intent on destroying all she has fought to be in pursuit of vengeance? And what happens when, as the day wanes, the embodiment of her deepest fear captures her eyes as well?
