Kneel for me, Astrid [Editing&Revising]

Astrid Selene Elizalde has spent years imprisoned in a single room, a life defined by walls and silence, with no answers to the questions that have haunted her entire existence. Her only yearning: to understand why. She has known nothing but darkness, and the relentless ache of unanswered questions, each day a reminder of the life stolen from her.

But everything changes the moment she crosses paths with Cassius Giddeon, the fourth of the enigmatic Goldenthorn siblings. He is both the key to her freedom and the spark of a dangerous desire she cannot resist.

In a world drenched in secrets, power, and obsession, Astrid discovers that liberation comes at a price. Loyalties are uncertain, motives are hidden, and the line between love and destruction blurs. She must navigate the dangerous allure of a man who can save her but may also be the reason she falls and breaks. In the dark heart of the Goldenthorn legacy, Astrid will learn that freedom is never simple, and desire is a weapon sharper than any chain.
