Dark academia isn't the aesthetic. It's the cover-up. Bound by a curse, linked by a heartbeat. If he dies, she dies....
One touch was supposed to free him; instead, it chained her to him. Evelyn Vale is the city’s best contract breaker, but when she severs the curse binding Carson Rook, she accidentally binds their souls together—and the price is her life. He is the disgraced heir to a magical empire, a living vessel for a calamity that could level the city. Now, they are the most wanted fugitives in the underworld, sharing a heartbeat and a countdown to death. He is the monster everyone fears, but in the heat of their flight, Evelyn finds herself craving the touch of the man who could destroy her. To save her sister from a deadly debt, she must choose: sever the bond and let Carson perish, or keep the link and risk burning alive in his fire.
