In the city of perpetual twilight, desire is currency…and power is always stolen in the dark.

Lyra is a Shadow Weaver, a witch who crafts illusions from lust, secrets, and living shadow. Desired by many yet touched by none, she glides through the city’s decadent underworld with cool detachment—until the ruling Triumvirate commands her to hunt a Rogue Mage whose victims are left drained, delirious, and marked by an otherworldly ecstasy.

Silas shouldn’t fascinate her. He’s dangerous, brilliant, and enthralled by the very sensations she wields as tools. But his magical signature is unlike anything she has ever felt—a tapestry of stolen desire that hints at artistry rather than cruelty. When Lyra baits him with a flawless illusion, their clash in the dreamscape becomes an intimate duel of will and power, leaving her shaken…and awakened.

Then the truth emerges: the real monsters are the Triumvirate themselves, who feed on the city to maintain their rule. Silas isn’t destroying the innocent—he’s trying to save them.

To stop the regime, Lyra must join Silas in a ritual of complete magical union, weaving shadow and consuming fire into a force strong enough to topple the throne. Their alliance sparks a bond deep and dangerous, built on shared vulnerability and undeniable power.

As the city’s tyrants fall, Lyra and Silas rise as its most formidable magic wielders—partners, perhaps lovers, and possible saviors. But in a realm where desire shapes reality, their future is as unpredictable as the shadows themselves.
