He was sent to hunt her. He never expected to hunger for her.At twenty-three, Verily Holbrook awakens to forbidden soul magick far too late ... and far too violently. A dead cat claws its way back to life and the boy who witnesses it doesn't.Hunted for her crimes, she's captured by Falcen Reaves, the Academy's cursed Elite. He's ruthless, unbreakable, and bound by a hunger that mirrors her own growing darkness.Falcen's orders are to take Verily to a fortress of monsters, Veil rifts, and soul-forged atrocities. Tasked with dragging late awakeners like her to a place that breaks or buries them, he's meant to deliver her unbroken.Instead, he guards her secrets, stokes her power, and craves the one thing he shouldn't: her soul.As Void monsters tear through the Veil and the Academy's brutal trials loom, Verily's relationship with Falcen ignites into a deadly bond.Enemies by fate. Lovers by curse. Every touch edges them closer to ruin. Every bargain demands blood.In a world where power costs souls, desire might cost everything.Resonance is a dark romantasy drenched in soul-magic, deadly trials, and a love forged in blood and Void. Perfect for fans of morally gray heroes and heroines who refuse to be broken.
