    Summary

    After the defeat of the Netherbrain, the Crimson Palace becomes your prison, and Astarion your warden. After months of watching his personality unravel into a dark abyss, you flee from the only man you’ve ever loved.

    But your hardships only persist as the harsh reality of existence as a vampire spawn unveils over the course of a lonely year.

    You’ve lost your life, Astarion, and all hope until a twist of fate reunites you with the pale Elf. He appears to be more himself, but there is darkness lurking behind his crimson eyes.

    One unsettling truth is certain: The Rite of Profane Ascension held devilish secrets and hidden consequences.

    As you navigate the complexities of your relationship, you must embark on a quest to save Astarion. With each choice, the stakes grow higher, testing the limits of your love, courage, and determination.

    Will you be able to save Astarion before time runs out, or will you fail and watch him succumb and be lost to you forever?

    Softish AA: He is not barbarically abusive, but there are some very dark moments and content.

    Please note: Tav is named late into the story (Chapter 15).

    Summary

    “Adultery,” Raphael repeats plainly. “Infidelity.”

    “Yes.” Astarion tosses his quill down. “It appears that I’ve spent the last few months drinking, fucking, and compelling people of our government. I recall none of it, mind you. But given Lilith’s absence, Halsin insisting that I not be left alone, and Shadowheart desperately praying for my damned soul—I can conclude that I have dragged myself into a bender that has wreaked havoc on my life as I knew it."

    A sequel to the events of Hellish Rebuke. This story will not make sense if you have not read its predecessor.
