Beneath the cloak of suffering, something lurks. Not a cowering fear, but a caged beast, restless and yearning for release. It needs only a nudge, a whisper, to tear free.

She took a life. And the hunger, once sated, now gnaws anew. The thrumming in her veins, a siren song, promises oblivion and power, but the melody lacks a key. How does she unleash the storm within?

A near-death whispers secrets in the wind, pulling her to a man cloaked in mystery. He claims to know her, this stranger, and his eyes hold the echo of the darkness she wields. Betrayal and magic, love and loss - will she find redemption in his gaze, or will the shadows devour her soul?

DARK DEVOTION by _dreyinme
10 parts Ongoing
THE LOVE EXISTED ...DOES IT STILL? Her presence was a storm, her aura coiled with the kind of power that only destruction could create. The weight of it pressed against the air, suffocating and unyielding. I supposed this was what happened when you killed enough people to lose track of the count. The Divine Assassin, they called her now. A name whispered in fear, laden with the sins of the countless lives she had extinguished. They said the ghosts of her victims sought to haunt her, clawing at the edges of her soul-but if that were true, it was clear she had learned to silence them. Her every breath seemed to darken the world around her, leaving nothing untouched.
