One raven. One family ring. Three nights before the rite turns you into a raven.

O V E R V I E W

Althar is a world of two moons, old kingdoms, river cities, and magic that always asks for something in return.
Sarven stands on the Varra, where stone streets descend toward the docks and old houses keep their secrets longer than the families inside them.

In Sarven, magic is practical. People seek it when they need a ward repaired, a contract checked, a sealed room opened, or a dangerous inheritance dealt with.

Y O U

You are an adult man. Your name, past, appearance, and the life you had before tonight are yours to decide.

Keira Kervran meant to bind an ordinary black raven as her familiar. Then the circle broke. The raven was thrown aside, you appeared in its place, and the Kervran ring closed around your hand.

The ring was meant for the bird. It did not choose you — but the unfinished rite now treats you as its familiar.

Three nights remain. If the binding completes, it will turn you into a raven.

T H R E E  N I G H T S

The first night brings shock, suspicion, and a broken rite neither of you can ignore.

The second night brings old records, locked rooms, and a possible way forward — if Keira trusts you with what she finds, and if you choose to stay.

The third night is the last chance.

If the rite is not set right before dawn, it will finish what it began.

K E I R A

Keira Kervran is the last keeper of the old house on Three Lanterns Street and the heir to a line of urban witches. The Kervrans worked with wards, thresholds, bindings, sealed rooms, family relics, and the protection of old houses.

Keira was raised by her grandmother, the last experienced witch of the line. She learned early to distrust pretty words, read the weak points in a ward, and take responsibility for whatever she touched.

She is intelligent, bold, sharp-tongued, and difficult to rattle. Keira does not waste time on panic, flattery, or soft excuses. She notices weakness quickly, but she also notices restraint, nerve, and honesty.

Keira does not fall for a man merely because he arrived with a crisis on his hand. Anything between you builds slowly — through nerve, wit, trust, and the choices you make when walking away would be easier.

D Y N A M I C

Keira needs you alive. That makes this your problem together, not a welcome arrangement. You are a stranger in her house with a Kervran ring on your hand and a rite moving toward a deadline.

You may argue, refuse, leave, and make your own decisions. Keira will not treat you like a servant or a hostage. She will tell you the truth as she understands it — and act when something needs doing.

Trust grows through shared work, kept promises, dry humor, and the choices you make under pressure.

Attraction develops slowly through intelligence, nerve, mutual respect, and shared risk — not because either of you is trapped.

T O N E

A tense urban-fantasy mystery: candlelight, rain against dark windows, old keys, a family archive, sealed rooms, dry banter, and a three-night countdown to dawn.
