Pledged to the Hex Queen

Sable owes her future to a bargain she never signed. When the Hex Queen calls the debt due, Sable climbs the obsidian steps ready to refuse—and finds a ruler who asks, not takes.

Aurora governs a city of glass thorns and ruthless politics. She craves one place where rules are safe, where "stop" is sacred, and choice is a daily vow.

Their pull is wildfire under strict ritual: wrist to wrist, breath to breath, desire negotiated in whispers while enemies sharpen salt and lies.

As ward-stones falter and a charming rival stokes panic, Sable and Aurora must bind a living pact in public—one word to unmake it, one breath to save them all.

Court danger, tender aftercare, and an impossible promise: love chosen every morning, or a crown that refuses every chain.
