In a kingdom stifled by an ancient, emotionally-draining curse, a notoriously cold and powerful Enforcer bound by an unbreakable vow is sent to control a seductive High Priestess, only to find their volatile clash igniting a forbidden passion that could either shatter the curse or consume them both in a storm of magic and desire.

The High Council, fearing Isolde's influence as her sect gains followers, dispatches Kaelen to "bring her to heel"
- to either break her spirit, force her compliance, or silence her. Kaelen expects a simple mission of control.
However, from their first encounter, something shifts. Isolde's vibrant magic, her unapologetic sensuality, and her unwavering defiance begin to chip away at Kaelen's rigid control. The Pall of Solitude, which affects everyone else, seems to recoil from her presence, and in turn, it reacts violently to Kaelen's awakening emotions, stirring the "Obsidian Whispers" -
The true, physical manifestation of his Vow's backlash: a bitter, cutting magical wind that causes excruciating pain and disruption, threatening to expose his secret curse.

When Clara wakes up in a new world, she's no longer a top-tier survivalist from a post-apocalyptic future-she's now the newly married stepmother of four malnourished children in a poverty-stricken rural village. Her husband? A handsome but useless deadbeat who's more interested in gambling and gossip than putting food on the table.
With a thatched roof threatening to collapse, threadbare clothes barely holding together, and not a single coin to her name, Clara rolls up her sleeves. She's not here to be a tragic character. She's here to survive-and thrive.
But raising four skeptical children, reviving a collapsing household, and navigating a village full of nosy neighbors won't be easy. Especially when her new stepchildren don't trust her, and the whole village is waiting to see how fast the "new wife" will run away.
Armed with grit, wit, and a lifetime of survival instincts, Clara is about to prove that even in the toughest soil, something beautiful can grow.
