Dominion

In a place like Dominion, the law is pretty straightforward, but it's a harsh reality. At 18, girls like Axelle find themselves auctioned off, meant to marry whoever bids the highest. It's a wild and unsettling tradition, and Axelle, with her bright eyes and dreams of adventure, is about to step into this whole new world for the first time. She's got no idea what to expect, but there's a mix of curiosity and fear as she faces the life that awaits her.
Axelle enters Julius's opulent estate, feeling the weight of her new life. In the elite society of Dominion, her virginity is a prized possession, attracting the attention of men with dark intentions. Julius, fiercely protective and deeply in love with her, quickly realizes the dangers she faces.
From their first night together, he becomes her shield, installing security and ensuring she never feels alone. His affection for her grows alongside his determination to keep her safe.

But as shadows loomed closer, Julius couldn't shake the feeling that this time, danger was all around them-watching, waiting, biding its time.
