It may be 2022, but the modern world has done nothing to protect me.
I live in the world of the British nobility, a secret society of magic, mages and vessels.
There are strict rules and customs and no freedom at all.
My name is Charlie, but to society, I’m just a vessel. A person who grows and absorbs magic within them, but cannot wield it.
As tradition dictates, on my eighteenth birthday, I was given to a mage. From that day onwards, every seven days for four long years, Earl Rathbone took my body to take my magic.
Earl Rathbone was a cruel and harsh master. But it was ‘the done thing’ and society turned a blind eye to my mistreatment.
Until the earl’s son finally intervened and whisked me away. Sending me to Archie. The Earl of Hathbury.
Archie is kind and sweet. The man loves books nearly as much as I do. He is nothing like Earl Rathbone.
Yet, giving Archie my body and my magic is daunting. But it is my duty and a necessity. As a vessel, I need a mage to regularly empty me or I could die.
To my great relief, Archie is understanding and gentle, and it’s not long before I start to fall for him. Finding my duty more of a pleasure.
Archie seems to enjoy our time together more than is proper, and I am hopeful.
But can Archie be trusted? Is he really safe? Will I ever be truly free?
High angst. Medium heat. Happy ever after guaranteed.
Please note, this book contains dark themes including on-page punishment and abuse (not between main characters). ”
