Morgana, who only intended to help the drowning blind boy, was completely oblivious to the world she was unknowingly getting into. Every winter, Morgana is forced to look after her grandmother's secluded vacation home, but takes in the lost blind boy she saved from the icy forest lake one night. When he woke up, instead of being grateful for saving his life, he was more hostile and aggressive than a feral beast. A kindhearted witch who had the power to foresee the future through her dreams And a fierce, blind boy of unknown origins But the more she spends time with him, the more vivid she dreams of strange things. As she gradually tamed the beast she picked up, secrets of the untold past began to unfold. Having no other choice, she abandoned him without a proper goodbye for both their sake. But why is it that the beast she discarded came back years later as one of the most powerful men in the empire? "You've hidden yourself quite well." Said the icy voice full of power. "Very well, I must say." She swallowed a breath, taking a step back. "But from now on, there will no longer be a time that you are not within my grasp. I'll make sure of it," He said, closing the space between them. "Even if I have to lock you up in a cage." "What makes you think I'll let you?" She answered calmly. "Because everything here is now mine, including you."

When a cupid is tasked with setting up the woman he has feelings for, he decides instead to sabotage her matches while he uncovers why the Fates are targeting her. ***** Supernatural forces have secretly decided human destiny for centuries. Both the Fates and inhuman criminal cartels have used cupids and their powers of manipulation to control love and desire. But Declan is a rarity: a full-blooded cupid who freelances for both sides.

Love is his business, but he's seen how it can destroy lives and is determined not to fall himself.

Declan doesn't want to set her up with the love of her life, but he knows if he turns down the job, someone else will. He decides on a third option: take the assignment and sabotage her matches.

"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.

𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 & 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 Revenge Countless souls have fallen prey to its grasp, their lives shattered as deeply as those they sought to harm, if not more so. For most, mere death isn't the end It's not enough to satiate their thirst They crave retribution, wish for something beyond the grave. They want misery upon those who've wronged them. Long for the torment of those who've wounded them But at the end of the day, it's merely a wish, A burning desire for- well, nothing realistic, really For they are weak. Powerless Some may even deem them useless But then, there exist the select few- those who refuse to settle for anything less than the worst, denying death's grasp to unleash a living hell upon their enemies, Those who take matters into their own hands, seizing control & becoming the architects of their own vengeance, Now those, those are dangerous. For in their eyes, the concept of contentment is a foreign notion, replaced by a searing ache for more- More agony, despair. More misery, more wails. More destruction, chaos. People like him, they feed off of fear, thrive in causing pain. They're cunning, calculating, heartless But frankly, even the most twisted of them seem like harmless amateurs in comparison to him. He reeks of death Exudes darkness, sorrow Death is all that shadows his steps, making his existence a reminder of the inevitable fate that awaits his victims. And whispers in the Russian underworld speak of him as Mors- The god of death So, what happens when a girl, who abandoned her family, her life & the very empire bestowed upon her- just to escape the sight of death, catches the eyes of the reaper? What happens when he pulls her into the abyss of his world, intent on destroying all she has fought to be in pursuit of vengeance? And what happens when, as the day wanes, the embodiment of her deepest fear captures her eyes as well?
