    Summary

    Grazilaxx defected from his hive to preserve the one thing illithids weren’t meant to have—independence. Now a founder of the Society of Brilliance, he specializes in aberrant psychology, and his newest subject of study is a highly unusual beholder named Lorthuun. With their flair for metaphor, complicated history with the Zhentarim, and dangerous split mind, Lorthuun rapidly drags Grazilaxx out of his comfort zone and into a spiral of fixation.

    What began as a clinical study warps into mutual fascination as the icy mentality of an illithid clashes against the chaotic heat of a beholder. It doesn’t take long before that fascination curdles into obsession. And obsession, the most dangerous emotion among aberrations, soon metastasizes into a twisted form of connection.

    This is a slow-burn dark romance about identity, control, and the unbearable intimacy of trust among monsters, told through the perspective of an illithid struggling to reconcile his instinctive emotional repression with his yearning for psionic resonance.
