Rhapsodic by Laura Thalassa (Paperback)

Callypso Lillis has spent years collecting a bracelet of black beads, each one a magical marker of a favour owed to the Bargainer. These debts can only be cleared through repayment or death, and for the longest time, one man has never come to collect—until now.

Known for granting wishes at a price, the Bargainer is feared for always claiming what he’s owed. When he finally appears in Callie’s life again, it’s not just to settle old debts. Their past resurfaces, bringing with it unresolved tension and a connection that refuses to stay buried.

Beyond their history, a darker threat is rising. Fae warriors are disappearing, and something dangerous is stirring in the Otherworld. To face it, the Bargainer needs Callie’s help, even as her involvement places her directly in harm’s way. In this first book of The Bargainer series, secrets, power, and past promises collide in a story where every favour has a cost.
