Summary
Astarion has known cruelty. For centuries, he's served as little more than an object—broken, manipulated, and discarded at the whim of his ruthless master, Cazador. So, when he's abruptly sold to the infamous Lord Darcy Balor, a mysterious warlock known throughout Baldur's Gate as Bhaal's favoured son, he expects the worst.
But Lord Balor is nothing like what Astarion expected.
Instead of cruelty, Astarion faces kindness. Instead of punishment, he is met with unsettling compassion. Bound by a blood contract, Darcy holds every power over him—yet demands nothing, forcing Astarion into unknown territory. Slowly, the carefully crafted masks they both wear begin to crack, revealing secrets neither was prepared to confront.
Caught between curiosity, confusion, and the dangerous pull of genuine affection, Astarion begins to question everything he's ever known about power, control, and desire.
Yet, Darcy harbours a dark secret—one that binds their fates together in an unholy union Astarion never agreed to. But can love blossom in darkness, or will their hidden truths destroy them both?
