For a decade, the Northern Dukedom of Blakemore has endured the iron-fisted rule of Duke Dominic Samael Blakemore, a ruthless ruler who conceals his face behind a menacing horned mask. Those who have seen him described him as a towering and slender man with hair as dark as the depths of midnight. An unsettling and almost unholy shade. Throughout his reign, the Duke's authority faced numerous challenges, from dissatisfied subjects, rival Dukedoms, the formidable influence of the Holy Church, or even the power of the Holy Emperor himself. Yet, despite all odds, none had managed to dislodge him from his position of power. In this backdrop of seemingly insurmountable control, a courageous group emerged from the Western Dukedom, determined to topple the Duke's oppressive regime.

A story of the life they led within the Duke's castle and the many secrets it holds. Magical Rose Mini Awards | Best characters

Nicholas Lao Batista, editorial assistant at Will & Williamson Publishing, was not a naturally quiet person. Very few knew this, and he was not one of them.

Except nothing was as intended, and with every passing day, it became harder and harder to tell bad from good. What Nicholas needed was a way home, but he found himself wanting something more - something to do with unwavering eyes and surprisingly gentle hands.
