In a kingdom stifled by an ancient, emotionally-draining curse, a notoriously cold and powerful Enforcer bound by an unbreakable vow is sent to control a seductive High Priestess, only to find their volatile clash igniting a forbidden passion that could either shatter the curse or consume them both in a storm of magic and desire. . . . The High Council, fearing Isolde's influence as her sect gains followers, dispatches Kaelen to "bring her to heel" - to either break her spirit, force her compliance, or silence her. Kaelen expects a simple mission of control. However, from their first encounter, something shifts. Isolde's vibrant magic, her unapologetic sensuality, and her unwavering defiance begin to chip away at Kaelen's rigid control. The Pall of Solitude, which affects everyone else, seems to recoil from her presence, and in turn, it reacts violently to Kaelen's awakening emotions, stirring the "Obsidian Whispers".
