The Eclipse Pact

Stage 1: Mara Voss was the Crown's deadliest spellbreaker until she was framed for destroying an entire city. Fleeing for her life, she drives a blade through the heart of Cael Rook, the night lord she has sworn to kill. Then her own heartbeat stops with his. If he dies, she dies too. Stage 2: Cael saves her with a blood pact, but the bargain chains her to his curse, his underground empire, and the black fire waking inside her veins. Hunted by the Crown and betrayed by the mentor who raised her, Mara has no choice but to work with the man she nearly murdered. Every escape brings them closer. Every secret turns hatred into something far more dangerous. Stage 3: The eclipse is coming early, and the city has already chosen its sacrifices. The mastermind behind Mara's frame-up wants the pact to become permanent. If Mara breaks it, the black fire will consume her. If she keeps it, Cael will pay the price with his life. Before the eclipse swallows the sky, she must choose: kill the monster beside her, or become one with him.
