Four centuries ago, a dark bargain struck before the Salem witch trials tethered two families—the Prynnes and the Steadfasts—to a cycle of misery and manipulation. Today, that legacy lives on through Lucy Prynne and Ashes Steadfast. Bound by a cruel, supernatural mandate, Lucy is destined to reap the souls of the hopeful, while Ashes is sworn to stop her at any cost. They are trapped in a high-stakes enemies-to-lovers dynamic, forced to play the part of bitter adversaries despite a shared history of deep intimacy and unspoken love. Ash spends her days suppressing her heart to uphold her duty, fighting the woman who was once her closest confidant. However, when she dares to defy the curse rather than its victim, the veil begins to thin. By choosing to combat the malevolent force haunting their lineage instead of each other, Ash and Lucy uncover long-buried secrets that threaten the very foundation of their existence. As they dismantle the generational trauma that keeps them apart, they must decide if their love is strong enough to survive the ultimate sacrifice. In a race against time and destiny, the two women fight to break a cycle that has claimed everything—except their devotion.
