ONE HELLISH YEAR.
Updated at Jun 23, 2026, 14:33
Sera Voss never believed in demons. She believed in her sister. In the kind of love that doesn't ask permission before it sacrifices everything. So when Mia — twenty two years old and too young to be dying — was handed a death sentence by doctors who had already given up, Sera did the only thing left to do. She opened her grandmother's journal. Drew the circle. Gave her blood. And spoke the words out loud at midnight. Something answered. His name is Kael. Ancient. Silver eyed. Built from centuries of cold precision. He collects souls without sentiment and without exception. The deal is simple. Mia lives fully healed. In exchange Sera spends one year in his world under his roof by his rules. When the year ends her soul belongs to him. She signs without hesitation. What she doesn't know is that the contract was already tampered with before her blood touched the page. That her face is carved into the walls of his ancient manor — put there by his own hands centuries ago. That she is not the first woman to make this deal. Just the latest in a line stretching back through centuries who all shared her face and all found their way to him. Inside the manor something shifts between them. Slowly. Dangerously. In stolen conversations and charged silences and a touch neither of them acknowledges but both of them feel for days. Sera tells herself it means nothing. Kael tells himself the same. They are both lying. But the truth when it finally arrives destroys everything. Mia was never really dying. The illness was engineered by something ancient that has been keeping them apart across lifetimes — feeding on their doubt, on their secrets, on every space between truth and silence. Because Sera is not just a human woman who made a desperate deal. She is a soul that keeps coming back. His soul. A love older than either of them that has never once been allowed to finish. Until now.
