Esme Desdemona is blackmailed by a god-bear another child, or watch her daughter die. There's no mercy, only loss. Terrified, she obeys. Tura is born out of desperation, not choice.
But fear doesn't fade. Convinced the god will return, Esme locks Tura inside. The house becomes both protection and punishment. Esme calls it safety. Tura calls it a cage. She dreams of freedom-the one thing she can't reach.
Beyond Earth lies a realm where every soul is claimed when its time ends. But Tura's doesn't follow those laws. It carries a prophecy-one that says her soul will vanish.
The god who forced her birth made that soul powerful-rare, defiant, bright enough to draw the gaze of gods. Now it's hunted, a prize worth killing for.
When the Emperor seeks someone to uncover the truth, his son volunteers. It should've been simple: watch her, report, learn why her soul defies nature.
But nothing stays simple.
He watches her. Silent. Detached. Waiting for the day her soul becomes his. At first, it's duty. Then curiosity. Then something darker.
He doesn't think about purpose anymore. He thinks about ownership.
He doesn't just study her soul-he wants to keep it. He wants it still, quiet, locked where no one else can touch it.
She is his to claim.
She is his to ruin.
She is his to keep.
She is his to touch.
If the only way to claim her soul is to cage her, he will.
If the only way to have it is to take her heart, he will.
And if another dares to reach for her, he will tear them apart until there's nothing left but silence.
But Tura falls for another-a prince who feels like freedom. His smile hides ruin; his touch carries destruction.
In a world where gods hunt souls and love cuts as deep as it heals, Tura stands between the god who wants her soul and the man who holds her heart.
Love won't save her.
Love will ruin her.
