In a modern world where old magic still lingers in the shadows, Y/n’s dormant bloodline finally awakens — drawing the attention of the one being her ancestors tried to erase from history. Leo Blackthorn, a powerful and deeply bitter warlock, was sealed away centuries ago by her family during a war against a rising darkness. Now the seals are cracking, and he needs her — her power, her blood, her cooperation — to break the last of his chains and face the ancient force known as The Eclipse before it consumes everything. What starts as a reluctant, resentful alliance quickly becomes something far more dangerous. Leo is possessive, rough, and unapologetically obsessed with the woman he’s been dreaming of for decades. As he trains her to control her magic, every lesson, every ritual, and every brush with violence pulls them deeper into a slow-burn spiral of protection, resentment, and raw need. The Eclipse is waking. Her family’s secrets are surfacing. And Leo has no intention of letting her go — not when the prophecy says she was always meant to be his. Bound by blood. Claimed in shadow. Some chains were never meant to be broken.
