Two beings shaped by myth. One bond forged by necessity. And a collision that will leave them both undone.

Mia has lived her entire life in hiding—an exiled lamassu born of divine chaos, masking herself among humans to survive. But when her protective amulet is stolen and her aura begins to awaken, she becomes prey to the Chaos Hunters, a covert faction that traffics supernatural power for profit.

Isidore was born a predator: a lamia enforcer for a powerful demon cabal, trained to see beings like Mia as prey or threat. His world is built on obedience and ritual violence—but when he crosses paths with Mia, he doesn’t see a target. He sees a second chance at redemption for a sin that still stains his soul.

Bound by bloodshed and necessity, Mia and Isidore become uneasy allies to save a Deaf muse. But their bond is volatile. Divine protector and seductive monster. Survivor and weapon. Prey and predator.

As supernatural forces close in and ancient myths reignite, Mia must stop running from her chaotic inheritance—and Isidore must learn that protection is not the same as control. 

Polyphonic Seduction is a Mesopotamian myth-infused, slow-burn dark fantasy about divine trauma, sacred intimacy, and the kind of love that leaves a mark. Perfect for fans of dark romantic fantasy, supernatural politics, and emotionally charged slow-burn dynamics.
