Description

A dark, seductive descent into devotion and desire…

When jaded anthropologist Elara stumbles into the hidden valley of Blackthorn Hollow, she expects folklore—not flesh-and-blood surrender. The women here are hers in every sense: bound by silk, swollen with purpose, their bodies worshipped as sacred vessels of life. They call themselves herdwives, their existence woven into the valley's irrefutable truth—submit, and be cherished.

But it's Cain Thorne, the Keeper of the herd, who truly unravels her. His touch brands her with a hunger she can't intellectualize, his commands a dark symphony her body obeys without question. With every ritual, every whispered vow, Elara sinks deeper—into the primal thrill of belonging, into the ache of being claimed. Yet as her belly grows heavy with the valley's promise, doubt festers. Is this gilded devotion… or gilded chains?

The line between willing surrender and eternal captivity has never felt so thin.

Step into the valley. Your vow awaits…
