2 parts Complete MatureA cursed dagger. A broken pact. And a soulbinding they were never supposed to survive.
Astra made a deal with a devil and nearly offered a stranger's soul to seal it. He didn't expect her to smile at him like she already knew the price.
Lylian has lived through chains and chosen silence. She doesn't flinch at pretty monsters-but she's not interested in saving them, either.
Thrown together by bad timing, flirtation-as-defense, and one hell of a heist, the two form a bond laced with sarcasm, heat, and just enough trust to be dangerous.
But when a cursed artifact unearths the worst parts of their pasts, the only way out is a soulbinding ritual that demands not just magic-but intimacy. To break Astra's pact, they'll have to give up the lies they hide behind, survive each other's truths... and try not to fall apart when the lines between lust, love, and loyalty burn.
A sharp, dirty, and darkly tender fantasy about sin, survival, and the people we choose to stay for.
