    Summary

    Facing death at the hands of a corrupt church, Calliope trades her soul to Sylus—an ancient dragon sharpened by centuries of imprisonment and infernal hunger.

    Their agreement is simple.

    Her soul is his to claim when he wishes.

    Her life hangs entirely on his whim.

    What begins as a pact of survival twists into something far more dangerous as struggle, isolation, and uneasy trust draw them together.

    Sylus, who has never belonged, is drawn to her by something he cannot burn away. Calliope, who planned to flee the moment she could, discovers escape grows complicated when she finds warmth beneath his cold, merciless exterior.

    An age-old prophecy stirs in their wake, one the church has waited centuries to accomplish.
