The Onyx Covenant is a dark fantasy novella set beneath the glittering facades of a wealthy city where power hides behind silk and stone. It follows Kaelm, a ruthless and hedonistic thief who accepts an unusually lucrative contract to retrieve a dagger from an ancient vault buried deep beneath the streets.
What begins as a simple heist turns into something far more deliberate. The vault is not merely a prison for treasure, but a ritual chamber. The blade is not merely steel, but a vessel. When Kaelm shatters the crystal heart of a guardian construct, he unknowingly inherits a curse engineered by a reclusive nobleman who sought freedom at any cost.
Bound to the dagger is Apolline, a centuries-old vampire spirit condemned to feed only upon the one who wields it. Their survival becomes mutual and inescapable. Hunger is no longer an external threat, but an intimate bond. What begins in deception becomes negotiation. What begins in necessity becomes desire.
