Until Calix-dangerous, unreadable, and hiding secrets behind every smile-enters her world. He was never meant to stay. She was never meant to matter. But now, their fates are entangled-and something far darker is watching. As buried memories surface and the truth about her parents' death unravels, Althea finds herself caught between love and destiny, betrayal and survival. Calix may be her only hope... or the reason she falls. In a world where souls are cursed and fate is written in blood, love isn't salvation-it's the beginning of the end.
