The Coil's Embrace
Every time Isolde uses her forbidden magic, it devours a memory.
Her mother's face. A childhood song. The name of someone she once loved.
Soon, nothing of her may remain.
Alone on the shores of the Serpent's Coil-a black-water fjord where something ancient sleeps-Isolde survives by keeping her pact and her distance. Then the tide delivers a mortally wounded stranger bearing the brand of an inquisitor.
She should let the water reclaim him. Instead, she sacrifices another piece of herself to save his life.
Konrad knows the Order of the Black Coil was never truly destroyed. Its agents are moving north, a forbidden Codex has resurfaced, and the old god beneath the fjord is beginning to wake. He may be Isolde's only path to the truth, but his past is stained by betrayal, fire and an unforgivable choice.
Together, they must cross plague-stricken villages and ruined abbeys before the Order completes its plan. As danger draws them closer, Isolde must decide how much of herself she is willing to surrender.
Because the Order does not simply want the sleeping god destroyed.
It needs a vessel.
And the Coil already knows her name.
The Coil's Embrace is a haunting gothic fantasy of forbidden magic, ancient gods, dangerous intimacy, redemption and the terrible price of survival.
