Flowing silk dresses. Structured suits. Empty, forced vows. Soft, sweet nothings. Whispered caresses. Bittersweet kisses. Blue, blue eyes. This is not a love story. This is ruination. 🥀 Rosaline Beaumont. A name that once graced every tabloid, a face that used to be plastered all over social media. A girl that had all but disappeared.

Standing at a wedding altar not of her choice, Rose was on the precipice of vowing to spend the rest of her life with a man she hardly knew. A deadly gamble. A hopeful new start. But could something new truly blossom, when the clutches of the past were dug so deep? Could she ever truly move on, when she couldn't close her eyes without dreaming of him? And could a marriage really last, when her heart would forever beat for another? 🥀 Completed on July 5, 2025.

The Emperor of Arandis, Darius Calvren, is a man who conquers all-kingdoms, hearts, and even the restless spirits of his past. Yet sleep has always eluded him, plagued by whispers of the ocean and shadows he cannot name. Until one fateful night, a mysterious woman steps into his life. Lyra, with her ethereal beauty and haunting violet eyes, soothes his troubled nights and steals his heart. Enchanted, he makes her his empress, unaware of the dagger she hides in her heart. Lyra is no ordinary woman. She is the last siren of the seas, a creature of legend and wrath. Years ago, Darius's merciless purge wiped out her kin, leaving her alone, broken, and burning with the desire for vengeance. Now, disguised as a human, she plans to destroy the man who took everything from her. But as their lives entwine, Lyra finds herself questioning everything. How can she kill the man who holds her so tenderly? The one who respects her boundaries, trusts her, and looks at her as if she is his entire world? Torn between her thirst for revenge and the unexpected pull of love, Lyra must make an impossible choice: fulfill her deadly promise or risk her heart in a love that could consume her. In this tale of betrayal, passion, and the haunting echoes of the sea, one question remains: when the siren sings, will it be for love-or revenge?
