Summary
In an AU without tadpoles, Cazador succeeds in his Rite of Profane Ascension, sacrificing seven thousand souls to Mephistopheles to fight for him in the Blood Wars in Avernus, including Astarion. After charming the devil and becoming his pet, Astarion is swept up in an adventure in the Hells to gain his freedom, along with a party of adventurers. He decides to seduce their leader, a wizard named Gale, along the way to the famed buried city of Kintyre in the frozen realm of Cania, the eighth circle of the Hells. They come across dangers and violence in their adventure which cause them to have to deal with their past traumas and abuse together. Will the adventurers find a way out of the Hells into freedom or will they find themselves in a hell of their own making?

I imagined this book starting after Part 1 of my first fanfic, Mine, which details Astarion and Cazador's backstory (minus Gortash and the tadpoles of course). I used this book to question how trauma can cause us to make things unnecessarily worse for ourselves. It deals with pretty heavy stuff and depicts rape and other violence. It all works out in the end though. <3Bookmarked by LadyOfMoss
