Dance of the Dead Gods: Hunt by Polina Volkova
Istheus (Issa) is a nightmare curse, tethered to Jonathan, a man who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The two coexisted, might even have been counted as friends, until the day Issa spotted a strange girl on the street and became fatally obsessed.

Now, he’s determined to break the terms of the curse and possess the woman with the bright red ribbon in her hair.
It doesn’t really matter what happens to Jonathan, because to hell with Jonathan.

Sofia was an unusual girl who did peculiar things. She was tasked by her goddess to keep forbidden magics in a secret place, and did quite a fair job of it until she met Jonathan, a slightly doltish but thoroughly delightful friend.

But perhaps she ought never to have made friends because the dark man at his house keeps looking at her, and his sugared words have knife-edged teeth.
Content Dance of the Dead Gods is an erotic dark fantasy romantasy featuring a morally black villain lead and a soft (not helpless) FMC. The series engages with disturbing themes and power-imbalanced dynamics. Some items below are isolated incidents; others are ongoing themes. Reader discretion is advised.
