The moment Aria Holt breathes in evil Celeste's Red Note, the countdown begins: 73 hours until she belongs to Celeste.

Perfumer Aria Holt should smell victory -- until a predator has other plans. Celeste wants the bottles back, and she hits Aria with a perfume that binds the wearer in seventy-three hours. Obedience, forever. Celeste and the Patron want their plans for power and wealth to get back on track.

To break the Red Note, Aria needs more than courage. She needs Gabriel, the old-world vampire who chose her over his maker and is falling for Aria; Loki, a charming menace and shifter; and Luna, a clever witch whose spells value consent over control. Together they face Celeste's empire: a Choir of enchanted bottles, a market built on addiction, and a city tuned to the wrong key.

Every hour tightens the leash. Every clue points toward the same terrible truth: the Red Note isn't just a perfume -- it's a terrible prison written in blood and glass. To survive, Aria must rely on Luna and Gabriel to break the spell before 73 hours are up, or her life won't hers.

Tick, tock. In seventy-three hours, love becomes a weapon -- or a ruin.

Fast-paced and thrilling dark romantasy with found family, spice, consent-centric magic, and a city that sings back. This is book 2 of a 4 book series.
