MEET THE CHARACTERS

Esme Kocari

A 26-year-old enchanter with midnight-black hair that falls in tangled waves past her shoulders, and violet eyes that seem to hold their own light. Her lips are perpetually swollen from biting them, and her hands carry the faint silver scars of spellwork etched into her palms. She moves like a woman who's learned to weaponize her own desire, but her fingers tremble when she reaches for something she might actually want.

Adil Kocari

A 28-year-old enchanter with dark bronze skin, close-cropped black hair, and amber eyes that burn with barely contained intensity. His jaw is sharp enough to cut glass, and a thin white scar runs from his left temple down to his cheekbone—a reminder of the duel that bound them together. He carries himself like a predator forced into a cage, but when he looks at Esme, the rage in his eyes wars with something far more dangerous.
