A relic keeper makes a bargain with a fae Lord.She'll authenticate and contain dangerous magical objects from his court for one year,in exchanges for him lifting a curse on her brother.He's cold,unreadable,and insists she wear a locket that "protects" her in the fae realm-but the locket starts showing her memories that aren't hers,including a murder.The fae Lord claims the victim was a traitor.The memories suggest he was the killer.And the chemistry is...complicated,because he's also the only one keeping her alive there.
Core situation
-Lira Vane,relic keeper for the human city of Ashwick,authenticates cursed objects.Her younger brother,Tomas,is dying from a slow fae curse he got touching a black glass mirror.The only cure is held by Lord Caelith of the Autumn Court,and he'll give it if Lira serves him for one year,cataloguing and containing dangerous relics that keep "leaking" into his court.The price:she must wear his locket all times ("for protections").
The Twist
-The locket doesn't just protect.It remembers.And the memories it show Lira include a murder in Caelith's hall_a fae noble stabbed with a human blade-the night before she arrived.Caelith says the victim was a traitor,executed lawfully.The locket shows him standing over the body,hand bloody,expression unreadable.
