**A Love That Defines the Dark**
A world untouched by the supernatural, a man named Alaric faces betrayal from the very villagers he once considered family. Forced to flee for his life, he stumbles upon a dark power long buried and forgotten, an ancient force that offers him the promise of unimaginable strength and eternal life in exchange for his soul. Consumed by vengeance, he accepts this sinister bargain, awakening a darkness within himself that transforms him into the first of a new breed-a monstrous Vampire King, ruled by bloodlust and sustained by the very essence of life he now seeks to extinguish.
For centuries, Alaric's reign of terror permeates the land, his humanity stripped away as he wreaks havoc on fragile souls, turning them into slaves for his insatiable hunger. In the shadows of his dominion, the Lycans emerge, a creation borne of his wrath, further plunging the world into despair.
Elara, a courageous and compassionate dancer, willing to sacrifice everything to protect her beloved sister from the vampire king's predatory gaze. Each month, the villagers offer beautiful young women to satisfy Alaric's dark desires, and when Elara's sister becomes the next target, Elara bravely volunteers to take her place and harbors a plan to end the king's cruel cycle of destruction.
Yet, in her naivety, she underestimates the depth of his power; Alaric cannot be slain, for he is bound to the very dark entity that created him.
What fate awaits Elara when she finally encounters the being of nightmares? In this captivating tale, love battles despair, weaving a rich narrative of forbidden passion, sacrifice, and the relentless struggle to defy the darkness that binds them both.
The noble and most ancient house of black are said to produce young witches and wizards with superior magic, superior bone structure and most of all superior blood. As one of the oldest, largest and wealthiest families in Great Britain nothing less would be expected. Toujours Pur.
Cassiopeia Vega Black, the fourth daughter of Cygnus and Druella Black was no exception... If anything she could give the Black family something that her sisters and cousins could not, something that her ancestors before her could not. A legacy that no one in the wizarding world would ever forget.
But when someone is born and raised in that kind of cruelty it tends to leave scars.
