Dark/Gaslamp Fantasy. Character-Driven, Atmospheric, Mythic Horror Camilia has spent her life on the margins of the Sanctuary, a hidden stronghold carved into the heart of Harem's Hill and guarded by ancient rites older than the Empire itself. When the Inscriptum, living Writs of the Emperor's will, descend on her people, the Sanctuary falls in a single night, leaving Camilia trapped underground with a dying leader, a handful of survivors, and a voice in the darkness that has been watching her for years.

Aurora Ravenwood is a teenage wolf who has spent most of her life sheltered by an overprotective family, hidden from a world that has never quite stopped watching her. There have been multiple attempts on her life. No one knows why Aurora is a target-or what makes her different. Whatever power she carries remains buried, even from herself. Her world fractures when she is taken from everything she knows and forced to survive in an unfamiliar, unforgiving place. Stripped of safety and certainty, Aurora must learn quickly, because survival offers only two choices: fight, or die. As she navigates monsters in the woods, impossible decisions, and truths long buried, Aurora begins to change. Somewhere along the way, an unexpected connection starts to take shape-slow, complicated, and laced with tension. It is not born of safety or certainty, but of shared moments, unspoken understanding, and the quiet pull of something neither of them is ready to name. What you'll get: • A slow-burn romance that builds through tension, restraint, and earned emotion • Sharp banter and dry humor woven into high-stakes moments • A flirty, charismatic hero who knows exactly how to push boundaries • Multiple points of view that deepen the story and its secrets • First-person narration that pulls you straight into the characters' thoughts, fears, and desires **** © SLWrites 2025.

But underneath his stoic demeanour lies a web of feelings, struggles, and a goal to prove that he's not the angry little kid he was.
