Caught in the hands of a cult, my tormentor might just be my salvation
Loelle
A smuggling job gone wrong lands me in the clutches of the Solar Nexus—a ruthless cult hellbent on purging heretics through pain and fire. They unleash their most brutal enforcer on me: Finzar, a towering blue-skinned inquisitor whose searing gaze should terrify me, but instead ignites something far more dangerous.
At first, he's all cold brutality and zealous devotion. But my unbreakable spirit awakens something buried deep beneath his conditioning—the lost soul he tried to destroy. With each failed attempt to break me, I fan those smoldering embers until Finzar's loyalty detonates into the ultimate heresy.
Now this deadly enforcer will burn down everything he's ever known to keep me safe. But can we escape the cult's clutches before they sacrifice us both to awaken their ancient sun gods?
Finzar
I am the Solar Nexus's dark blade—their most feared weapon—until I'm tasked with breaking Loelle, a fiery smuggler whose defiance awakens forbidden desires I thought I'd purged forever.
Her radiance dissolves my cruel indoctrination, leaving only all-consuming devotion. This scorching criminal queen makes my body respond to unholy urges I've never felt before. So for the first time in my life, I claim what's mine—to possess utterly, guard zealously, ravage without restraint.
Any threat to our illicit union faces my feral fury. But if we don't escape before the Solstice ritual, the Order will sacrifice us to fuel an ancient god's return—and we'll both be extinguished forever.
