Others inherited wealth. But Circe was gifted a curse and the challenge to dispel it. *** In a world of wands and curses, Circe Adelgrief inherited both. However, the cost weighed not only her freedom but also everything she had and will ever own. As the daughter of the vilest witch, it is a disgrace to merely stay still. To avenge herself from the curse her own mother had inflicted, Circe coveted her legacy. Dubbed as the Empress of Chaos, her mother took pride of the misfortunes she orchestrated. Circe will erase it off the map and dance on her grave. The curse of a witch is only as strong as its covenant-a loss for a prize, a risk for a win. Circe offered her soul for a chance to disgrace her mother's pride. But her covenant couldn't overpower the Empress's binding. Like how her mother cursed their neighbors to death as a collateral for when she failed to dispel the curse, Circe also dragged them in a binding match. A war of wand where they wagered something important to them. Circe promised slavery in her defeat, but her win meant the consumption of the challenger's soul. She miscalculated. After losing a match against Zildren Eldritch, a warlock knight whose mother was inflicted with the curse, she lost the chance to exact her vengeance. Enslaved as she was to the demand of the counterspell, she's also being prompted to submit to the authorities for the life she spilled in the game of hers. Would the daughter of the vilest stay true to her covenant? Or would she sacrifice the knight to get what she desires?
