She stole from the wrong man—and now, he owns her fate. Yura Lynn has survived the streets of Merveil by keeping to the shadows, stealing to stay alive in the dark city. But when she picks the wrong target, her freedom is stolen in return. Jonathan Jacks isn’t just any man; he’s a Sorceré, a rare wielder of both light and dark magic. Instead of punishing her, Jonathan binds her with an unbreakable spell, forcing her to help him in a quest that could change the fate of magic itself. But Merveil is a kingdom ruled by fear and haunted by prophecy. Queen Vero has vowed to eradicate every last Sorceré, and her cursed twin brother, Theo, is unraveling—the dark inside him growing more dangerous by the day. He is searching for something, hunting for a power that has remained hidden for years. And without realizing it, Yura may be the key. As tensions ignite between her and Jonathan, Yura is drawn into a world of treacherous bargains and undeniable temptation. Yet the longer she stays by Jonathan’s side, the more questions arise. Fragments of a past she doesn’t remember. Secrets buried in blood and shadow. And a truth waiting to be uncovered—one that could shatter everything she thought she knew about herself. The deeper she falls, the more she begins to wonder. Has she traded one cage for another? A darkly seductive fantasy romance filled with slow-burning tension, forbidden magic, and dangerous desires. Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, and high-stakes adventure.
