Adonis Celts, the notorious monster who'd been rotting in prison for the past decade. Getting an interview with him just weeks before his release would be the story of a lifetime, and well worth the risk. With his hands cuffed and guards right outside the door, nothing could go wrong. Right? • • • "I've already explained I'm not afraid of you Mr. Celts. But it seems like you want me to be?" I retort. He leans forward in the chair, his face just a foot or two away from mine. The light flickers above us and it seems like a sign for me to shut the hell up. "Mmhm right. Well, maybe you have more nerve than sense then hm? Or you just don't scare as easily as the others." His jaw ticks slightly "But I can think of far better ways to get your heart racing. So no honey, fear is the last thing I want from a woman like you."

Sergei Antnov doesn't feel love. He collects it. Controls it. Destroys it. Until her. Élise Vetrova only desires to start over-a new life, new city, new shop, new serenity. But her past wasn't yet buried, and someone has been watching her for years. When fate or maybe something even darker, forces their worlds to intertwine, the slowest of burns begins. He's the monster outside her window. She's the ache in his chest he'll never remove. And the line between devotion and destruction is about to blur forever. "She loves him like a prayer, he worships her like a sin. She plants flowers in graveyards, he destroy kindoms to ruins in her name."

After the devastating loss of her fiancé, she's left shattered, the wounds of grief running deep. Burned by the pain of his death, she's convinced that love has abandoned her, and she can never truly open her heart again. Isolated in her sorrow, she builds walls around herself, shielding her broken heart from the possibility of new feelings. But just when she believes she's resigned to a life of solitude, her best friend-the one person who's been a constant presence since childhood-begins to re-enter her world in unexpected ways. Their bond, once pure and uncomplicated, now feels like something more, something she can't quite ignore. Could the familiarity of this long-standing friendship hold the key to healing her heart? As their connection grows, the lines between friendship and something deeper blur, forcing her to question everything she thought she knew about love, trust, and second chances. Is this finally the moment where she can let go of her past and embrace the future? Or will the scars of her loss prevent her from opening her heart to a new possibility?

Rhea Vale was supposed to be a thief, a skilled, quiet shadow hired for one last impossible job: steal a forgotten relic from the ruins of the Spire. But the object she uncovers is no relic.

Hunted by divine assassins, shadow cults, and the Tribunal that once ruled the gods, she finds herself protected by Zael, a disgraced general haunted by his past. As Rhea struggles to understand the power she never asked for, long forgotten truths resurface...
