CHILDHOOD WHISPERS. TENDER HEARTS. YOUNG LOVE. FRACTURED COURAGE. TOXIC FATES. VIOLENCE. SELF HARM. DESTRUCTIVE DEVOTION. DARK ROMANCE. NO VULGARITY. DARK STORY. MYSTERY. CRIME. BLOOD. THRILLER. ABUSE. (non-romantic, contextual to character histories and worlds) LIVES IN RUIN. Aziza grew up in a world perfectly built by her father's cruelty, where whispers bled like poison and secrets murmured in the dark. The people she loved most turned to strangers and the home she once clung to became a chamber of betrayals she could never escape. Two men would cross her path .....one who molded himself into a shadow strong enough to hold her heart sacrificing his flesh and soul in silence. The other a ghost from her past whose return pulls back buried memories into the open a presence both intoxicating and lethal. In a city dripped in power, blood and obsession love is a weapon, loyalty a cage, and desire a slow burning torment. Every choice fractures her, every heartbeat trembles under unseen eyes, and every secret is a flesh poisned to cut deeper than knife ever could. When past and present collide, when devotion swiftly collide with vengeance, and when love mutates into ruin. Aziza will learn the cruel truth: some passions are meant to devour, some losses are eternal, and some hearts can never escape the shadows they are born into. In a world where devotion can rot and obsession can choke will love be her salvation... or the sweetest deadliest betrayal of all? Story doesn't contain any vulgarity or explicit scenes‼️‼️

𝑨𝑳𝑳 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑫𝑹𝑨𝑮𝑶𝑵𝑺 𝑾𝑬 𝑺𝑳𝑨𝒀 A dark fantasy tale steeped in Gothic dread and strange redemption. Shadowfen is a kingdom where whispers never cease, ruled by the iron hand of Lord Sylvain Baudelaire, a knight carved from cruelty. But when a beggar's relentless wailing unmasks a secret-his daughter, Augethia, lost in the lairs of fire breathing dragons, Sylvain is forced into an oath that drives him to the very heart of the dragons flame. There he finds not a legendary maiden in chains but a scarred and unyielding girl who sees through his hollow mask. Their clash becomes a trial by truth, as brutal as any blade. Returning together to Shadowfen, they bring with them not triumph but something far more dangerous to a tyrant's reign: the stirrings of hope.
