Ashes & Bloom

In the frostbitten city of Seviel, beauty is a trade and survival is an art form.
Cain Solaris, the Praecia Veil's most coveted courtesan, was born from pain and perfected by desire. He's a man who knows how to make sin look like salvation. Beneath his painted smile lies something brittle: a longing for freedom he no longer believes in.

Gabriel Edach kills for the rebels who would see the Church and its empire fall. Once a weapon of faith, now a fugitive from it, his hands are stained with more than blood. When his mission leads him to Cain, what begins as an assignment becomes an awakening.

In a city of smoke and secrets, love is the most heretical act of all.
As the world around them decays, Cain and Gabriel find themselves standing on the edge of damnation, where devotion feels like fire, and every kiss leaves something to burn.

Even in ruin, some hearts refuse to die quietly.
From the ashes, something always blooms.
