Kethrin swallows sins for coin. Tarak burns heretics for God. When twenty years of enforced chastity fractures his magic into a ticking weapon, they have one choice: break his vows through ritual intimacy, or let his core detonate and burn half the city in holy fire.

She's a slum sin-eater with six near-deaths carved into her tally. He's the Order's perfect Inquisitor, every denied want compressed into bindings starting to crack. Only she can pull the sin out of him without turning the city's lower wards into a hymn of destruction.

One magical circle. One night. One desperate act of magic that binds their souls together and rewrites the city's wards.

But surviving the ritual is only the beginning. The Order doesn't forgive deviations. The godline doesn't release its chosen. And neither of them will walk away unchanged, or alone.

A complete standalone high-heat dark fantasy romance novella for adult readers (18+). Open-door, on-page intimacy that's integral to the magic system.
