Description

In Kiss Of Sin: Rewinding Flame, Ariette is a formidable swordswoman driven by ambition and contempt for weakness. When a forbidden ring falls into her hands, it grants her the power to rewind time—but every reversal demands a price. The ring feeds on sexual energy, and each easy way out makes the next rewind more costly. For someone determined to rise above everyone around her, the promise of another chance may prove as dangerous as any enemy. Magic has all but vanished from the world, displaced by science, while the crown’s authority continues to fade. In the rebellious port city of Havenport, guilds and the Inquisition compete for control under the guise of preserving order, stoking fear of long-forgotten sorcery. Political intrigue, betrayal, greed, and vice thrive amid the struggle. Behind it all, a succubus schemes to open a portal to her demonic realm, yet lacks the magic needed to finish her work—and Ariette may be the key. Offered the post of royal magistrate in Havenport by her uncle, Ariette sees a chance to consolidate her influence, secure recognition for her lineage, and begin her ascent toward the crown. Her ambitions soon collide with an empty coin purse, the Inquisition’s scrutiny, and a secret in her blood more perilous than palace politics. Unaware of the hidden power she possesses, she becomes central to a demonic plan that threatens to turn her greatest strengths against her. Unable to corrupt Ariette through sex or seduction, the succubus chooses a subtler path. By exploiting her pride and hunger for power, the demon gradually draws her into dependence on forbidden demonic magic. With every tempting shortcut, Ariette’s pursuit of control risks becoming the very thing that places her under another’s influence.
