Violet Chains

In the shadow-drenched city of Duskmere, nothing is holy and everything has a price. Iris Verran, a poor herbalist with secrets stitched into his blood, only wanted to survive. But when he crosses paths with Almond Drevar, the ruthless heir to House Drevar—Duskmere’s most feared magical bloodline—survival becomes a dangerous game. Almond doesn’t believe in love. Only control. Iris doesn’t believe in fate. Only freedom. But when their lives become entangled by a curse older than the city itself, they are forced to choose: Surrender to the chains... Or burn the world to break them.
