Three years ago, Dax was human. Now, he is something else entirely, an Eldritch horror feeding on the souls of the wicked. Bound to rituals of his own making, Dax drifts between masters, feared by ghosts and sought after by those who seek vengeance.
When he is summoned once more, Dax expects another disposable master. Instead, he finds Chase-his former best friend, now a wealthy and obsessive ghost hunter who has spent years chasing the supernatural... and running from a curse he cannot break.
Chase binds Dax to him with powerful magic, forcing them into an uneasy partnership. Dax must help break the curse, or remain tethered to Chase indefinitely. But the curse is no ordinary affliction. It twists fate, sabotages hope, and punishes any attempt at happiness.
As they track down clues through haunted places and forgotten rituals, old wounds resurface. Dax struggles with the remnants of his humanity, while Chase confronts the guilt of the past that drove them apart. What begins as reluctant cooperation slowly rekindles into something deeper-something neither of them expected.
But the curse has rules, and one of them is absolute: love will cost them everything.
Now, Dax must decide if he is still human enough to defy fate, and Chase must choose whether breaking the curse is worth the risk of losing Dax forever.
Because some horrors aren't born in the dark.
Some are made there, and some might still find their way back.
