Drawn into this dangerous game by circumstance, she finds herself reluctantly partnered with a charismatic curse-broker, a man notorious for collecting impossible debts. As they delve deeper, the witch and the curse-broker must outmaneuver rival houses, each vying for control of the memory, while confronting the potent, undeniable pull between them. Their alliance, born of necessity, sparks a simmering tension and unexpected warmth against a backdrop of ancient secrets and looming threats, promising an earned romantic payoff amidst the escalating stakes.
