The cursed family existed 22 years ago. It is stated that if one of the mothers gives birth to a female child, her entire family will be slaughtered one by one. Ayesha Desmond, who was pregnant, eventually gave birth to a baby. However, the delight they should have felt turned into despair when Ayesha died while giving birth to her baby girl. Darryl, her husband, tried to remain optimistic, but their family perished slowly and unexpectedly. When his turn came, Darryl kneeled in terror as he saw a man in a black hoodie with a catastrophic scythe. Hel Mallory Desmond, the cursed family's daughter, lived a miserable life since whoever she touched lost their lives unless she wore black clothes to keep the curse from spreading. She wondered why people died when she touched them, and why her family died, until she encountered Hades, the cause of all this chaos.

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.

Odessa Solavita dreams of eclipses she's never seen and a love that feels more like a curse. Beneath her mortal skin lies the soul of Selira, one of the Five Veiled Moons-a coven of celestial witches born under darkness and flame. Once, they wielded beauty and ruin in equal measure until Selira was stolen by a demon who swore he'd love her beyond death. That love shattered the coven. It damned them all. Centuries later, Odessa crosses paths with Kane Hendrix, the haunting lead singer of Crimson Hymns-a man whose voice drips with sin and sorrow, whose touch burns with something ancient and wrong. He is the very demon who broke the world for her once before. As Odessa's dormant magic begins to awaken, so do the memories she was never meant to recall. Love becomes a haunting melody, pulling her toward the truth-and toward the monster who would burn eternity just to have her again. But awakening her magic comes at a cost. The forces that once tore them apart are stirring, and the other Veiled Moons are not as lost as history would have her believe. The line between salvation and damnation blurs, until only one question remains: Is love still love when it was forged in ruin? In a world where magic is memory and music is a curse, "Crimson Hymns" is a darkly sensual tale of reincarnation, forbidden devotion, and the relentless gravity of souls that were never meant to part.
