Bound To The Hollow King by valahrafn

In Duskhaven, a city cloaked in eternal twilight, the Hollow King reigns-a monster who takes what he desires and destroys all who dare resist. Lord Lucius Dreven, feared ruler of the Ashen Court, is a creature of insatiable hunger and boundless cruelty. Known as the Hollow King, he revels in domination, leaving only despair in his wake. When Ylva, a human-fae hybrid with blood as intoxicating as it is rare, is sold at an underground auction, he claims her as his prize. But Ylva is more than a possession. Her ethereal beauty and defiant spirit ignite a dangerous obsession in Lucius, one he cannot control. At first, he craves her blood, drawn to its power and its promise. But as his thirst deepens, so does his fixation. Ylva becomes a pawn in his twisted games, a living trophy to break, control, and consume. Within the shadowed halls of Blackthorn Keep, a brutal game of power unfolds. For every ounce of resistance Ylva offers, Lucius tightens his grip, turning her defiance into a spark that fuels his dark desires. As fear and obsession blur the line between captor and captive, their fates become entwined in a way neither could have foreseen. In a world ruled by shadows, where freedom is a distant dream, Ylva's struggle for survival collides with Lucius's unrelenting hunger. But the question remains: will she bend to his will, or will her light become his undoing? A dark tale of possession, obsession, and the cruel dance between predator and prey.
