Fated to Burn, Destine to Rise

Kath thought she had found love despite the odds—married to Gio, a man half her age, who swore his devotion to her. For five years, she endured the agony of losing every child she carried, never suspecting the cruel truth behind it. But when she uncovers Gio’s ultimate betrayal—offering not just their unborn child but her to the monstrous being lurking in the shadows—Kath refuses to be another sacrifice.

Desperate to survive, she makes a dangerous deal: her power in exchange for her life. One bite from the monster is all it takes to heal him—but it does more than that. The magic doesn’t just mend his wounds; it rewinds her age, restoring her to the youth she once lost. And with that transformation comes a revelation—she is not just any offering. She is his fated mate.
