Breaking Onyx #1

Onyx Rayne was supposed to die at Tartarus.

Instead, he was sold.

Bought by Dominic Bancroft, a witch with old blood, endless confidence, and a dangerous fascination with the last surviving rebel pyromancer, Onyx is dragged from the auction block into a world of collars, chains, and cruel lessons. Dominic doesn't want a broken pet. He wants a living threat: something beautiful enough to display, dangerous enough to keep close, and angry enough to make every moment feel like a gamble.

Onyx wants only one thing: an opening.

One chance to burn through the magic, the luxury, and the carefully built rules keeping him caged. But Dominic is patient, cunning, and disturbingly honest about what he wants. As the lines between punishment, protection, and obsession blur, Onyx has to decide what survival really costs—and whether hate can stay pure when the man holding the leash is the only one who still sees the fire in him.
