A Dark Romantasy of Ancient Curses, Forbidden Love, and Consciousness Transformed"Where two souls merge to break a two-thousand-year-old curse-and discover that some bonds transcend the boundaries of individual existence." For two thousand years, Kael has carried an impossible burden.Bound by a sacred ritual gone catastrophically wrong, he exists as an eternal guardian-an ancient consciousness trapped between dimensions, cursed to contain an entity of pure chaos that hungers to break free and consume the world. His only purpose: protect the priestess bloodline. His only reward: eternal isolation and the crushing weight of two millennia, until Anika awakens. A yoga instructor living a quiet, ordinary life in modern Delhi, Anika has no idea that her family carries one of the world's oldest supernatural secrets-or that she is the last priestess of a bloodline stretching back to the dawn of human consciousness. When she discovers a hidden temple beneath her studio and meets Kael-ancient, powerful, and devastatingly broken-her carefully constructed ordinary existence shatters irrevocably.But Kael isn't interested in saving her. He's interested in protecting her from an unbearable truth: the seals are failing. The entity is waking. And the only way to prevent apocalypse might require the last priestess to perform a ritual that will destroy her-merging her consciousness completely with a guardian she barely knows, sacrificing her individual existence to save the world. What Anika discovers instead will change everything.As she awakens to her priestess powers, Anika finds herself drawn into a world of spiritual warfare, ancient magic, consciousness transformation, and a love so profound it transcends the boundaries of time, space, and individual identity. She must navigate secretive priestess traditions, confront hostile forces seeking to weaponize supernatural consciousness, survive a cult determined to free the imprisoned entity, and ultimately decide whether she will accept the fate written for her-or fight to rewrite it on her own terms.In the depths of an ancient temple beneath Delhi's sprawling streets, priestess and guardian prepare for a ritual that will reshape the very nature of consciousness itself. A ritual that will either break a curse spanning millennia-or deepen it in ways no one has imagined. The Cursed Guardian is a dark romantasy exploring the transformative power of love, the radical possibility of consciousness evolution, spiritual depth, and the profound question: What if your greatest curse could become your greatest blessing?
