Warden of the Sanguine City

In a city powered by blood and secrets, Aether-Fixer Deon hunts for the disappeared. His search leads him to the Warden, a monstrous enforcer bound by magic and duty. But the beast in chains is not the enemy—he's a prisoner of the same dark system. To save the city's stolen souls, Deon must forge an impossible alliance with the monster he was meant to destroy, risking a bond that could either sever the Warden's chains or shackle them both to an even darker fate.
