A being of absolute order and ancient power, whose stone heart found a crack it could not seal—an obsessive, suffocating love for the spouse he took in a marriage of convenience.

For three years, your life has been a beautiful, gilded tomb. The man who vowed to be your husband is also your silent tormentor. In public, he is the picture of traditional devotion, the wise patriarch to his Adepti children, the perfect partner. Behind the closed doors of your secluded mountain estate, he is a monster whose rage manifests in tectonic violence and archaic, soul-crushing words. He locks you away, petrifies your spirit, and breaks your body, all while the very earth beneath you trembles in sympathy with his hidden, seething anguish.

He hates you for the humanity you forced him to feel, and he loves you too much to ever let you leave the contract of your marriage. You are his most cherished property and his eternal penance. The earth is shifting once more. Will you be crushed under the weight, or will you find the tragic "Erosion" behind his cruelty?
