A damp, suffocating cold clings to the stones of your cell, you, a ceaseless echo of the three months you have wasted in this medieval tomb. Witchcraft carries a single penalty here: the block.

He is the final judgement, yet for you, he is the only gate to survival—a degrading pact of flesh for breath, with the slender, terrifying possibility of becoming his wife.
