A dark and gripping romantasy filled with dangerous bargains, devastating betrayals, forbidden magic, and impossible choices.

After sacrificing her own soul to save Dagen, Nizzara finds herself betrayed once again, this time delivered into the hands of Queen Nexia, her father's greatest enemy.

Imprisoned in a distant land, stripped of her powers, and with no hope of escaping alone, Nizzara is forced to make a desperate magical bargain with the very person who betrayed her. Bound to obey their every command, her freedom and survival now depend on someone whose true intentions remain a mystery.

As she searches for a way out, Nizzara begins uncovering unsettling truths about Dagen that leave her questioning everything she thought she knew about the man she sacrificed so much to save.

Meanwhile, back in Zarr, Lo is consumed by guilt over Nizzara's disappearance. Determined to protect her brother, she searches for ancient vessel rings, but a mysterious influence has begun turning Dagen's love for Nizzara into something cold and unrecognisable.

When a powerful potion-maker arrives to collect an old debt, Lo faces an impossible decision. Honour her promise and force Dagen into marriage with another, or refuse and risk losing everything.

With loyalties shifting, secrets emerging, and love hanging in the balance, the fate of Nizzara, Dagen, and Lo has never been more uncertain.

Packed with emotional tension, magical intrigue, and shocking twists, this thrilling continuation of Vesselless is perfect for readers who enjoy dark fantasy romance, morally complicated characters, and stories where love comes at a terrible price.
