A bounty poster. A bleeding vow. A bell tower built to steal your will.
Captain Elya Scarface is hunted across winter streets by the Radiant See — a holy power that turns promises into chains and calls it salvation. When Rot begins to spread through her body, she’s dragged into a nightmare hidden beneath the empire’s bells: a factory of obedience where ‘May I’ is law… and no is paid for in blood.
Kael Valen was raised to obey. To capture Elya. To cleanse the Rot.
But when he uncovers what the See has built in the dark, his faith fractures — and the vows in his mouth start to cut him from the inside out.
Now Elya and Kael are caught between hunted and hunter, truth and devotion, desire and control — and the bells are ringing.
Because the empire doesn’t need chains.
It only needs your yes.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
