Claiming the Curse (Aralian #2)

Arianna Belmont will sacrifice everything to save her terminally ill love. Silas Belmont will protect his beloved no matter the cost. With their curse-bond solidified and their soul entwined, they’re determined to endure gruesome fates to preserve their mates.

Death lingers in the shadows, waiting to ensnare Silas. There is no cure to the wasting sickness ravaging his body. Teetering towards his demise, he would rather proceed to the Great Beyond than risk Arianna’s wellbeing or place his subjects in harm’s way. His martyrdom is her saving grace, keeping her hidden in Presspin far from those who’d collect the bounty on her head.

The world Arianna built in Belmont Manor is crumbling, with her blight and life spiraling out of control. Unwilling to accept Silas’s fate, she enacts a desperate measure to restore her husband by sending a raven requesting aid from an ex-disciple, unwittingly bringing doom to their doorstep.

Yet an unexpected hope arrives, when a mysterious stranger infiltrates Presspin with the promise of an antidote. Arianna must decide to trust the unscrupulous rogue or let her spouse die.

With a fight against time, will Arianna rush headlong into danger, throwing caution to the wind on a slim chance at a miracle, or will Silas force the pair to remain true to course, to safeguard his wife, leading to his fatality?
