The fated mate bond should be a blessing. For Sera Ashford, it's a death sentence.

When the bond snaps between Sera and Vesper Silvercrown?the cursed High King who's buried four mates?she has two choices: run and die slowly from the incomplete connection, or stay and fight a three-hundred-year-old curse that's never been broken.

Sera chooses to fight.

She has three weeks before the madness takes her.

Vesper has watched every mate bond turn love into obsession, devotion into violence, sanity into madness. He's made a vow: never again will he condemn another woman to that fate.

But Sera isn't running. She's a supernatural historian who's spent years researching his curse, and she's convinced she can break it. She just needs him to trust her?and time they don't have.

As the bond tightens and Sera's mind begins to fracture, they uncover a conspiracy that goes deeper than either imagined: a Federation built on mate sacrifices, a Council harvesting power from their deaths, and a cure that's been hidden for centuries.

Breaking the curse will cost them everything. Failing will cost them each other.

"You're asking me to watch you go mad."

"I'm asking you to fight beside me. There's a difference."
