Raised in the dark and sharpened into a lethal weapon, Millicent is sent into the Southern Kingdom to secure the future of her coven. However, she is walking directly into the heart of her past. Standing in her way is Cage, the King’s most trusted mage—the very man who slaughtered her mother. To Millicent, he is a target; to Cage, she is a ghost from a life he thought he had buried, a dangerous disciple of a monster he once fought to destroy. As they circle one another, fueled by mutual hatred and suppressed trauma, a far greater threat emerges from the North. An ancient, rot-inducing evil is waking, turning the land against its inhabitants and refusing to let the dead stay quiet. This encroaching darkness forces the two enemies into an uneasy, high-stakes alliance. Featuring a tension-filled enemies-to-lovers dynamic, this dark fantasy explores the struggle to break free from cycles of violence and brainwashing. As the past becomes a tightening noose, Millicent and Cage must decide if their survival is worth the cost of trusting their mortal enemy. With world-building rooted in visceral horror and a cliffhanger that demands immediate answers, this story is a gripping start to a haunting new series.
