I bound myself to the beast who murdered my mother.

Ten years ago, the Ashwolf burned my kingdom to ash and left me with nothing but a blade, a sister to protect, and a promise to kill him. Now my people are dying slowly, and the only magic strong enough to save them runs through his cursed veins.

So I found him. I bound my blood to his. And I told myself it changed nothing that I would take what his curse could give, and finish what I started the night he took everything from me.

I didn't expect a monster who flinches at the sight of a blade. I didn't expect to feel every scrap of guilt he's been drowning in for a decade. I didn't expect to want the man underneath the curse more than I've ever wanted my revenge.

The god who built him wants his weapon back. And I am the only thing standing between Kael Draven and the leash he's spent ten years trying to die free of.

I came to end him.

Now I'd burn the world down to keep him.
