Welcome to Asterion
The Vaen become what others want them to be. The empire has learned to make use of that. Two sisters are about to learn what it costs to want a man for themselves.
Two sisters. Two ways to fall.
Neither came to Asterion
to fall in love.
ITeo & Saros
The woman he cannot feel
Teo Rask has been sent to discover whether Saros, the man holding back the sea, can die. Getting close is part of the work. Wanting to stay is not.
He has spent three centuries becoming what other people desire. With Teo, he cannot feel what she wants. He has to ask. To wait. To learn her by touch.
IIMarit & Corvane
The woman who can refuse him
Corvane was made so no one could refuse him. Then Marit Rask tells him no. She has never wanted anything quietly, and he can feel every desire she aims at him.
She wants his attention. His hands. The man beneath the court’s most dangerous voice. The more fiercely she wants him, the more she risks remaking the very man she desires.

Two central romances, explicit intimacy, and dark themes. The story continues beyond book one.
For adult readers. Contains explicit sexual content, strong language, violence and death, sexual coercion and exploitation, captivity, and references to childhood abuse and experimentation.
Romance. Power.
The cost of wanting.
Behind the books
Cora Varden writes adult romantasy about wanting the wrong person—and what happens when they want you back.
Her stories bring open-door heat to dark fantasy worlds, where power reaches into the bedroom and falling in love can make an already dangerous life considerably worse.
She is the author of The Hushed, the first novel in the Beheld series. Expect complicated loyalties, women with agendas of their own, and consequences that outlast the kiss.
