About this book

A desperate man with nothing left to lose walks into Vile House seeking refuge, only to catch the eye of the mysterious boy in the purple mask who's never claimed a bargain before—until now. Remiel and Krypt are drawn together by fear and darkness in ways neither of them expected, their connection twisted and dangerous as they discover that the curse haunting one of them is beginning to consume them both. What starts as a twisted bargain becomes something far more complicated when two broken people find an unexpected kind of healing in each other's chaos. This dark, atmospheric romance will pull you into a world of secrets and supernatural danger where two damaged souls might just be exactly what the other needs—even if it destroys them in the process.

darkintoxicatingdangeroussensualtwisted

Dark, sensual intensity with industrial edges and gothic undertones. Think moody R&B, synth-heavy alternative, and haunting electronic beats. Atmospheric tension building into raw passion—noir-inspired soundscapes layered with intimate, scorching chemistry. Artists like The Weeknd, Massive Attack, Purity Ring, and FKA twigs vibes.
