    Summary

    Centuries have passed since Astarion's ascension. Centuries of triumph and despair, of victory and defeat, of heady thrills and daring escapes. Through it all, I have kept him safe. Through it all, he has kept me at his side. His loyal right hand, who straddles the line between life and undeath; the one he can't compel. I am a unique individual, no matter how you slice it. Just not as unique as Tav.

    Tav is, after all, the one that got away. The unrequited love of Astarion's life, just as he is the unrequited love of mine.

    And now Tav is back, and Tav wants it all.

    Summary

    Three years ago, Rhiannon made a choice that damned the world—and damned her soul. She helped Astarion Ancunín complete the Rite of Profane Ascension, transforming him from spawn to Vampire Ascendant. Then she vanished without a word. Unable to face what she'd enabled, she retreated to a remote Selûnite temple to atone for her sins.
    But Astarion never stopped searching.
    Now, he's found her. And this time, he won't let her slip away.
    Trapped in his opulent palace, cut off from Selûne's light, Rhiannon is caught between the man she once knew and the powerful, obsessive creature he's become.
    And he has all the time in the world to wait.
    As days turn to nights in gilded captivity, Rhiannon fights a losing battle against her own traitorous heart. Because the most terrifying thing isn't his power or his manipulation—it's the growing realization that some dark, buried part of her has been waiting for him too.
    He spent three years planning how to make her his.
    She's beginning to forget why she ever ran.

    Summary

    When Astarion comes to in the glaring brightness of the midday sun, he thinks he's died for the second time. Or perhaps it's an illusion. A hallucination.

    But no, it's none of that. The world has simply gone mad. The old rules are gone, new ones have been slapped on instead, and no one has bothered to explain anything to him.

    Before Astarion has time to process any of this, he's thrown into adventure with a bunch of strangers – emphasis on strange. But it's all right. He'll survive. He always does, whatever it takes.

As their ill-fated connection deepens into something real, they must navigate the ever-present realities of a sadistic vampire lord, Thayan enclaves seeking vengeance, A looming undercurrent of a grand design, unlikely betrayals and stranger alliances.

    “I was so afraid I would kill you. And then that night…here.” She gestured weakly to the front workbench she’d been avoiding. “When you pinned my wrists… I thought… I thought you were still afraid I could hurt you after I showed you what I’m capable of.” A lone, hot tear fell down her cheek. “I thought you were protecting yourself from me. From what I could do.”

    “I was.” His voice was hoarse, and barely audible. “Just… not the way you think.”
