Summary
Aurelia Carrow learns quickly that love is a liability.
It makes her lie. It makes her reckless. It makes her believe that some rules exist only to be broken for the right people.
Between Sebastian Sallow—brilliant, volatile, and willing to damn himself for her—and Ominis Gaunt, whose devotion is quieter but no less dangerous, Aurelia builds a fragile, impossible balance.
When Anne Sallow’s suffering reaches a breaking point, Carrow begins to chase a question she shouldn’t. Whether healing one life could hold everything else together. Whether ancient magic can mend what guilt, fear, and pain have cracked open. Whether saving Anne will save them all—or destroy what little they have left.
This is not a story about heroes or redemption. It’s about devotion pushed too far and magic that demands payment. A dark why choose romance about sacrifice, consequence, and the terrible, beautiful things we do for love.
