Takes Every — Taboo By Primal Jade Jantzen Jades Brother

Theron, the younger brother, is the protagonist of desire. The phrase “takes every” refers to a series of escalating boundary violations: a glance, a touch, a stolen garment, a forced kiss, a memory. Unlike a typical predator, Theron believes Jade wants to be taken. His delusion is the engine of the horror.

Taboo follows the uneasy partnership of two siblings, Jade and Jantzen, who live in the isolated mountain‑valley of Kreith—a place ruled by a centuries‑old taboo that forbids any one person from possessing more than one “gift” of the ancient Eldritch Arts. Theron, the younger brother, is the protagonist of desire

When Jantzen, the older brother, discovers a hidden well of power—a forbidden Chronicle Stone—he seizes it, instantly gaining mastery over time‑bending magic. The moment he does, the valley’s protective barrier begins to crumble, releasing ancient spirits and a hostile, “taboo‑breaching” force known as the Rift‑Wraiths. The Concept of Taboo :

Jade, who has only a modest talent for Seer‑Weaving, must confront her brother’s ruthless ambition while grappling with the moral weight of the valley’s taboo. She ultimately discovers a third, lost gift—Heart‑Binding—that can either seal the Rift forever or bind her fate irrevocably to Jantzen’s corrupted power.

The novel culminates in a harrowing duel in the heart of the Shattered Sanctum, where family loyalty, personal sacrifice, and the true purpose of the taboo are tested to their limits.
