Tàri never meant to step into the House of Starlit Sins.
But one night, one mistake and one fae with shadows in his eyes pulled her into a world where temptation is ritual and desire is the most dangerous magic of all.
Behind the glamour of Hollow Crest Inn lies another reality a place where pleasure is power...but nothing here is what it seems.
Least of all Kaelith, the shadow Fae who blackmails her into staying close, not out of cruelty...but out of fear.
His power fractures when she's too far.
His shadows weaken.
And the curse binding them is older and hungrier than either of them understand.
He tells himself she cursed him.
He tells himself he only needs her magic.
But the truth Kaelith refuses to face is far more dangerous:
He's falling for her.
And he knows he shouldn't.
Haunted by a past carved in pain and survival, Kaelith believes he is nothing but a beast unworthy of softness, unworthy of trust, unworthy of the girl whose fire wakes andsomething in him he swore he buried centuries ago.
And yet... he cannot stay away.
Caught between Kaelith's shadow scarred longing and Patrick's warm, seductive tenderness, Tàri is dragged into a world that forces her to confront what she's always feared:
Desire isn't weakness.
It's power.
It's the part of her magic she was taught to fear.
This is not a simple seduction tale.
It's a story about trauma, awakening, identity, and the terrifying intimacy of being truly seen.
It's about a girl discovering she was never meant to be tamed... and a haunted man realizing he was never meant to be alone.
