Two Hearts. One Curse.

Cursed at birth, Mirren has grown up watching her loved ones suffer with worry, wondering when Death will come for her. Just as she begins to stretch her wings and seek out the future she never thought she'd have by accepting the honor of becoming Cauldron City's emissary to the Kingdom of Nautilus, the curse takes root and her heart begins to falter...

In a moment of righteous fury, Mirren binds Fate into human flesh so that he will feel what it's like to live and love and have it all ripped away. To know pain so deep, nothing and no one can ease it. She assumes her magic, like her heart, is too weak to do as she commands until the night Fate finds her, rage simmering in his dark eyes as she demands she break her spell. He claims he never knew she existed, proposing that someone or something hid her from his sight, then vows to uncover who is truly responsible for her misery and make them pay for every second. In return, all she must do is unbind him.

If only she knew how...

If only her heart wasn't failing...

Their futures are uncertain, their presents interwoven. When Mirren tries to break the binding curse, she nearly dies, and Fate without his full power is unable to heal her. He must find a way to keep her heart beating until she finds a way to break the spell. Because not all curses die with their makers; some become eternal. The repercussions, should Fate be forever bound, are unspeakable.
