~Trilogy of Ruin Book-1~ I didn't plan to stop her. That's the first lie. She stepped into danger like it was nothing...as if two trained beasts circling her were just shadows. Most people freeze. Some run.Some beg for their lives. She... did neither. She looked at me. Right at me. Like she knew exactly which strings to pull to walk out alive. Me. And then she moved... fast. Fearless in a way that didn't belong in my world. She crossed the distance... and kissed me. Not to surrender. But to survive.Because she didn't beg for safety. She claimed it. And for the first time in my life...I didn't know if I was the one in control...or if I had just been claimed. 𝐊𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐡𝐚𝐧 has spent his life restraining the darkness inside him. Because once it's unleashed... it doesn't stop. 𝐄𝐥𝐲𝐫𝐚 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐤𝐡𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐭 has nothing left to lose. The law failed her. Now...she will become the justice it couldn't deliver. When obsession meets vengeance- there is no saving grace. No redemption. No mercy. Only destruction. And maybe...something far more dangerous than love.
