The Curse Anatomist

Combat inspector Tomas Rell enters the Collegium of Undoing to expose Edrin Vale, a forbidden anatomist carrying forty-nine curses in his scarred body. When a weaponized hex binds their flesh, every transfer demands conscious consent and leaves permanent damage—yet the military intends to use Tomas as its final vessel. To survive the conspiracy, Tomas must decide whether the man who manipulated his trust is also the only person who understands the true shape of his freedom.

A war-scarred inspector hunts a forbidden curse anatomist—then discovers the monster’s touch may be the only thing keeping him human.
