This title will be released on February 9, 2027.

Perfect for readers of:

Dark, lyrical sapphic gothic fantasy with obsession at the center
Phantom of the Opera vibes—spotlight, secrets, and a presence in the wings
Folklore-drenched stories where bargains come with marks and consequences
Ambition-driven heroines tempted by power (and by the one offering it)

Spice: 3/5

Sensual, atmospheric tension—more yearning/obsession than explicit heat.

The vibe

The city of Larzeg glitters as brightly as its famed Nectar Performance House, where violinist Kasia has sacrificed everything for one dream: becoming Perła, the theater’s prestigious concertmaster. When the current Perła dies mysteriously mid-performance, Kasia refuses to be distracted by rumors of a phantom haunting the wings. All she can see is her chance—until the orchestra director denies her an audition because of her Azjarian heritage.

Desperate, Kasia makes a bargain with the theater’s phantom… only to discover the phantom is Death herself.

Behind her dark veil, Lady Death offers Kasia a path to Perła—if Kasia becomes her companion. But companionship comes with a mark, and soon Kasia’s music becomes something more than talent: it’s entrancing, capable of bending audiences to her will.

The gift thrusts Kasia into the spotlight—and into the city’s highest circles of power—where influential men try to control her, Lady Death’s demands grow increasingly dangerous, and Kasia finds herself falling deeper into the thrall of a master who promises her everything… as long as Death can call Kasia hers.
