Summary
What if Illario's betrayal cut deeper than anyone imagined? Childhood friends in the streets of Treviso, he'd always harbored feelings for Rook, feelings she never returned. Now, watching her fall for his cousin, years of unrequited longing have twisted into something darker. Blood magic wasn't just his weapon against Spite but became the chains binding Rook to his will, a final desperate act to claim what he believes was always meant to be his.
"You took what he wanted most in this world..."
Now Lucanis faces an impossible choice: embrace the First Talon's mantle he never wanted, or watch helplessly as Illario's dangerous fixation destroys the woman he's come to love. With Rook trapped by forces beyond her control and time running out, Lucanis must navigate his own reluctant feelings while orchestrating the most personal rescue of his life before his cousin's obsession consumes them all.
