Why these tropes fit
Alma, born out of wedlock and shunned by society, lives with her mother until illness strikes. She contacts her estranged father and learns she is a bastard of noble House Avera, whose patriarch is a vessel of the Dread Beast. Alma sacrifices her arm in a blood-soaked ceremony to bind herself to the Beast in hopes of curing her mother, but the cure never comes. Now trapped in a hostile, gothic estate, despised by relatives and used as a pawn, she is guided by a beautiful monstrous god who appears only to her and claims she is destined to reshape the world. Fueled by his dark magic, Alma plots vengeance against the House that took everything from her. As their bond deepens and her plans grow more perilous, she must decide whether her forbidden feelings for her god are leading her to victory or to ruin.
