Description

Any woman may be held captive.
But her heart?
Never.

LYSIUM

Enslaved by the guild, Lysium aches for freedom while her magically imprisoned soul forces her to be obedient. She must dance with her beautiful husband who never smiles despite coming to her every night to love her, his every look marred by a breathless and unfathomable melancholy.

And every night, once he leaves, a shadow comes to steal away Lysium's memories of her most beloved companion, a laughing fire mage, although she desperately and defiantly chronicles their every moment in a secret journal...

ESSENCE

Shunned as a beautiful monster with scarlet eyes and bone-white hair, Essence nevertheless casts enchantments to protect her city from an ancient foe.

However, haunted by solitude, she seeks solace in letters from an enigmatic young mage in a distant demesne, who wields a mysterious power--and an unhealthy love for her.

MELYNDA

A mediocre sorceress at best, Melynda hopelessly tries to protect both Lysium and Essence.

But she must contend first with the guildmaster who possesses the souls of her children.

THE ENEMY

And outside the Seventh Demesne, a spirit—once the queen consort of mankind's greatest foe—strives to save humankind. But her lover, the enemy king, has bound her existence to his.

Content Warnings: Some of the male characters are morally questionable. One female character is tricked into sleeping with someone else without knowing who that person really is. An unborn baby is stolen from one character's womb.
