A Romantic Gothic Fantasy Welcome to the Dark Domain-where the Nightbeasts are pets, the shadows flirt, and forbidden love is basically a competitive sport. Alistair, a sun-kissed knight sworn to sacred armor and even more sacred responsibilities, has one tiny problem: He keeps falling in love with the one woman every prophecy says he absolutely shouldn't. Enter Adelaide-pale, elegant, dangerous in the softest way possible, and owner of the kind of gothic dress that screams "I'm not evil, I just look like this." She might be the key to saving the Domain... ...or the beloved disaster who burns it all down. Together, they stand at the edge of ancient cathedrals, political chaos, monster-ridden nights, and one extremely dramatic magical conspiracy. But honestly? Love might be the scariest spell of all. If you enjoy dramatic embraces, cathedral-sized feelings, and fantasy romance that doesn't take itself too seriously- Welcome to the Dark Domain. Your heart may never leave.

But instead, she unwittingly attracted the attention of a stalker. Someone who had been watching her every move for a month, plotting and planning for the perfect moment when he could take her. What Layna never would have expected was that when he finally kidnaps her, she would have to undergo "The Test". The Test that the girls before her had gone through. The one they failed, and payed heavily for. Will she pass The Test or will she die like the others?
