Curses and Crimson: Book 1.5 Karrigan & Korrigan (The Dragon Empress Chronicles 2)

Karrigan

Cursed since birth. Feared by my village. I was the whisper no one dared to speak aloud. All I ever wanted was love. And I would do anything to have it.
Then I met him.
He was meant to die as a sacrifice to the gods, but I wouldn't let that happen. I saved him. Maybe I only damned us both. Because once he was mine, I would do anything to keep him. Curses, gods, and destinies be damned. Not even Death would take him from me.

Korrigan
She was nothing like the world I knew. Beauty wrapped in sorrow, chaos, and hunger. She offered me mercy in the form of love, and I believed her. I promised her one night, one peaceful death for us both, a soothing end to our suffering.
Instead, she bound me to eternity.
Now we walk forever as the cursed, watching the world age and wither while we remain unchanged. Forever servants to the love that made us monsters.

As gods fall silent, Life and Death turn away. The two find themselves forever steeped in blood, betrayal, and love that created them.
