Ertha Arlez is a struggling purifier desperate to support her impoverished family. Her path crosses with Duke Zahid El Callenor, a wealthy and immensely powerful magician burdened by dark, corrupting energy that he desperately needs cleansed. On the surface, their arrangement appears mutually beneficial: she gains the financial stability she requires, while he receives the purification only she can provide. However, a terrifying complication threatens to unravel everything—Zahid is fated to devour Ertha alive. Determined to survive, Ertha resolves to maintain a strict emotional and physical distance from the duke. Yet, the deeply intimate nature of the purification ritual makes keeping him at bay an exhausting challenge. Compounding her struggle is Zahid’s relentless flirtation, which constantly blurs the boundaries she tries so hard to enforce. Caught between her duty to her family and the looming threat of becoming his next meal, Ertha faces a perilous dilemma. She must navigate this dangerous dynamic carefully, fighting to protect her life while resisting the overwhelming passion that threatens to consume her entirely.
