In the quiet town of Paradise, Lyra has spent her life hiding in plain sight-lonely, haunted by dreams that blur into nightmares, and marked by whispers she cannot explain. She believes herself ordinary, until the day a stranger steps into her café. Alastor Morningstar is no ordinary man. The son of Lucifer, heir to the Shadow Realm, and executioner of the damned, he has sworn never to love. Yet when he meets Lyra, something stirs in him-a fragile light daring to pierce the darkness he has carried for centuries. But Lyra is not simply a girl with a kind smile and soft laughter. She is the Hollow-born-prophesied child feared by both Heaven and Hell. Angels hunt her, demons covet her, and ancient powers stir in the corners of her dreams, whispering names long forgotten. As shadows gather, Alastor finds himself torn between duty and desire, brotherhood and betrayal. And Lyra must face the truth of what she is becoming: a force of ash and flame, destined either to bring balance to the realms or to burn them to ruin. Together, they will discover that love can be both sanctuary and weapon. And in a war where every vow demands blood, even the purest devotion may ignite the end of all things. ⚠️ Content Warning ⚠️ This tale contains mature and dark themes, and is laced with dark romance, religious imagery, obsession, nightmares, blood, desire, and death.

On his planet, women don't choose-they're chosen. When a male claims a life partner, it is final. Permanent. Absolute. Belle, a fiery university student, travels to this uncharted world for research. But she's unprepared for Thraxos-the towering, pale-blue warrior who rules with unchallenged strength and sees her as the one thing he's been missing. He's never chosen a mate. Never needed one. Until her. But Thraxos doesn't love the way humans do. His affection is possession. His protection is control. And Belle's fire only draws him closer. Now, caught in a place where her voice means little and her body is his to claim, Belle must decide: resist the darkness, or surrender to the one male she was never meant to survive. Feared across galaxies, Thraxos is a creature of obsession and power, and Belle's resistance only fuels his need to claim her. On a planet where human rules don't apply, desire turns dangerous-and love becomes a battle of wills.
