Chapters12
The arc the author planned. Your choices can bend it — your story may diverge.
1 The explosion at the summit. Arden tries to ground the energy and wakes up with a golden-white cord connecting her sternum to Dante's.
2 They test the tether. The agony of the Stretch. Dante realizes he cannot fly his squadron back without the human in his arms.
3 Forced travel on a single mount. The visceral friction of their bodies. Arden's siphon starts to hum in Dante's proximity.
4 Dante's energy spikes during a night-time ambush. Arden has to siphon him to prevent a blast that would level the camp.
5 They reach Dante's fortress. The Fae court is suspicious of the Human Battery. Dante's protective streak overrides his political logic.
6 Politics and proximity. They have to sleep in the same room to stay alive. They argue about history, power, and the arrogance of immortal courts.
7 They find the origin of the Soul-Anchor spell in a forbidden text. It was not an accident: it is a Fated bond used for kings.
8 Dante's magic becomes unstable in the cold. Arden must ground him. A magically-charged, high-intensity intimate encounter.
9 A rival Fae house tries to kidnap Arden to weaken Dante. Dante unleashes his full solar kinetic force to save her.
10 They find a way to break the bond, but it will leave Dante powerless and Arden magically blind.
