Every soul tastes death.
At the moment we are born, Death begins his walk. He makes no hurry, for he has all the time in the world.
Throughout our lifetimes, the only thing we can be sure of is that they will end. One way or another.
But what if Death's pace suddenly ended?
What if our numbered days suddenly became limitless?
The Empire of Arlenia is now drowned in death, plagued by a deadly civil war that has gone on for seven bloody years.
Just as the violence reaches its peak, the death count drops from dozens dead every day to zero. No one finds themselves able to die, no matter the injury.
The empire drowned in death finds itself drowned in life.
Psychological Horror and Slow-burn Dark Romance. 18+
---------------------------
It's been five years since that fateful Friday night. I remember it like it was yesterday.
The night I was kidnapped.
I was held against my will. Tortured. Starved. Broken apart, piece by piece. All in the name of "curing" me.
He didn't just steal my freedom. He rewrote the rules of pain, of fear - and then, somehow, of love.
If you'd told me I'd fall for the man who ruined my life, I would've laughed in your face. But reality doesn't always follow logic.
He's given me this journal and I'm going to write my story.
This is my truth. My confession. My war cry.
Because what he did to me deserves to be known.
