Summary
After the fall of the Netherbrain, Tessira and Astarion attempt normalcy. But can a once-renowned courtesan of Baldur’s Gate and a traumatised vampire spawn ever truly escape the demons of their past?
When a new vampire seizes Szarr Palace, it brings something the couple only dared to hope for - a way for Astarion to walk in the sun.
Using the skills she honed at Sharess’ Caress, Tessira makes a play for the artefact, stepping once more into the role of courtesan… until everything goes awry.
Imprisoned far from Astarion, Tessira discovers she is pregnant with his child, and with it, the terrifying realisation of just how far Astarion would go to reclaim what is his. Because some devotions do not fade with distance. They sharpen.
“I am no hero, Tessira. No angel sent to save you. I am a creature carved from shadows and sins – and yet, I would bare every inch of myself for you."
