The future of Serafena Mirel, born in the veil of the Primordial, promised by the Fates of the Maiden, never belonged to her. Even before she was born, she was destined to fulfill the pact that her ancestor made in desperation to save his people. Sera must give up her own life and become the wife of the Primordial Death. However, Sera's true purpose is the best-kept secret in all of Lasania. She is not only a carefully guarded Maiden, but also an assassin with a single mission, a single goal - to make the Primordial Death fall in love, become his weakness, and then... end him. If she fails, she will doom the kingdom to a slow death from the Rot. Sera always knew who she was. Chosen One. Spouse. Murderer. Weapon. An elusive ghost bathed in blood. Monster. Until I met him. Until the unexpected words and actions of the Primordial Death drove out the darkness swirling inside her. His seductive touch ignited a passion she had never allowed herself to feel and could not allow for him. But Sera never had a choice. Her whole life is the repayment of a debt, for she is forever overshadowed by Life and Death.
