I blinked. Castor. The name felt foreign on my tongue, like something I wasn't supposed to know.

I hesitated before murmuring, "Castor..."

His fingers, which had been pressing a fresh cloth against my wounds, stilled.

Something shifted in the air between us.

"...Say it again," he murmured, his voice quieter this time.

I frowned, confused. "Castor."

It wasn't the name itself, but the way I said it-soft, almost hesitant. Like I was trying to figure out who he was beyond the version I had built in my mind.

Psyche Calix is a young woman who lost everything in the span of a decade-her home, her family, her sense of belonging-all shattered by the hidden truths and treacherous magic of the Magnificent North and the Meridian Empire.

Now, something has called her back to the place where it all began... and where everything was taken from her.

On her journey to uncover why she was drawn back, Psyche encounters allies, enemies, and strangers who are anything but ordinary. Among them is one being who disrupts her path more than anyone else: a powerful vampire with secrets older than time and a presence she can't seem to escape.

He's dangerous. Unforgiving. Tempting.

As their fates intertwine and emotions grow tangled, Psyche must decide-will she surrender to the one who's haunted her every step, becoming his completely? Or will she break free before he consumes what's left of her?

Only one way to find out.
