- ୨ Dark Romantacy ୧ - In the kingdom of Raveleijn, peace is a fragile thing. After years of rebellion and unrest, the court has regained its stability, and Maurits Woudenberg, the stoic Head of the Guardians of Raveleijn, stands as its unwavering protector. A man of intelligence and discipline, Maurits is untouchable-both by the political schemes of the court and by the temptations of the world around him. But all of that changes the night Delancy Achlys walks into the kingdom's grand ballroom. Delancy wields the most powerful magic known to Raveleijn-Umbral Magic, a force tied to death, shadows, and chaos. Tasked with killing Maurits, Count Olaf, and Countess Halina, she enters Raveleijn's court under the guise of a simple guest. But her assassination attempt goes to shit when she discovers that Maurits is protected by a powerful spell, and worse-his arrows can wound her in a way no magic ever has. Both Delancy and Maurits are trapped in a dangerous game of power and obsession. Delancy, struggling to control her destructive magic, becomes haunted by her encounter with Maurits, torn between her mission and her growing attraction to the man she was sent to kill. Meanwhile, Maurits, a man who has never allowed himself to be swayed by emotion, finds himself inexplicably drawn to the enigmatic woman who nearly shattered his world. Her beauty is as lethal as her magic, and yet, beneath the surface, Maurits senses a vulnerability that pulls him deeper into her web. He must decide whether his duty to the kingdom outweighs the pull of the one person who could destroy it all. •─────⋅☾ ☽⋅ ─────• *This story contains mature language and violence!
