In Aethel, Resonance defines all life. A power shaped by one's deepest Goal. But the Iron Guild learned how to break that law.
Raised in their Dream Farm, Kael is their perfect weapon: a Resonator with an artificial Goal, conditioned to enforce their monopoly with merciless precision.
Yet when his first mission forces him to face blood, fear, and lies, Kael discovers the cracks in his own programming. His true Goal stirs beneath the surface, one that may destroy the guild... or himself.

But there is safety in numbers and danger in isolation, even for monsters. And with ghosts from their past snapping at their heels, can they survive on their own? » ✦ « Book II sees new allies, new foes, and the difference between hate and hurt. Let's just hope our lovely mains learn that difference before it's too late 💀 » ✦ « #2 in Angel Romance #3 in Demonology #11 in Thriller #Mature, 18+ for all the reasons.
