Summary
“Every step towards your ruin, I will personally orchestrate.” Tilda’s life crumbled with the news of her divorce, only to be utterly shattered by the revelation of her husband’s new bride: her own stepmother, Aclaire. With a chillingly innocent smile, Aclaire confessed to a calculated betrayal, boasting how she’d meticulously stripped Tilda of her husband, family, and honor. Left with nothing but a searing wound, Tilda swore an oath to the goddess, vowing to drag her betrayers into the deepest pits of despair.
Her quest for vengeance leads her to Kales Moyne, a man revered as a devout priest across the empire. Yet, Kales is an enigma, his pious exterior barely concealing a dangerous madness. His gaze, though seemingly cold, holds a disturbing intensity, and his words flow like a dark, seductive chant. “Even as I struggle under those cold eyes, I think it wouldn’t be so bad to fall into the abyss if I’m with you,” he whispers, a hint of a twisted smile playing on his lips. “Do I seem crazy to you?” With this inscrutable, potentially unhinged ally by her side, Tilda is ready to embrace the darkness. Uncover the first threads of her terrifying revenge in Chapter 1!
