Intro. They say that love heals everything. Which is strength, light, salvation. But for Riven Blackthorne, love is a death sentence. Cursed by a vengeful sorceress, he has lived by a single rule for years: "don't let anyone love you" . And to achieve this, he has become cruel, lonely, detestable. The monster that everyone avoids at the Umbra Institute. Until Ari arrives. New, human —at least in appearance—, with too many questions and zero intention of being scared. He tries to push her away. She stays. And unintentionally, he awakens in Riven the most dangerous thing he can feel: affection. Because if she loves him... Die.
