In a world where darkness reigns supreme, love is not a fairytale-it's a battlefield.

Darius Veythorne is a name whispered in fear and reverence, a man who rules the underworld with an iron fist and a fractured mind. Beneath his tailored suits and cold gray eyes lies a dangerous secret-a split personality that's as unpredictable as it is deadly. Darius doesn't love. He doesn't care. But when his gaze falls on Vivienne Cross, the innocent, doe-eyed girl who stumbles into his shadowed path, his obsession becomes unrelenting.

Vivienne's world is a stark contrast to Darius's-a world of light, naivety, and fragile dreams. But the moment she crosses into his domain, she becomes his. Trapped in a game of power and possession, Vivienne finds herself drawn to the monster behind the mask, even as his demons threaten to consume them both.

Darius doesn't just want her heart-he wants her soul. But how do you escape a man who is both your protector and your worst nightmare? A man who would burn the world just to keep you by his side?

In this tale of obsession, madness, and desire, love is a weapon, and surrender is the only way to survive.

He warned her once:
"Run while you can, Vivienne, because when I catch you... you'll wish you hadn't stopped."

But Vivienne isn't running anymore.

Dark. Seductive. Unforgiving. Enter a story where the line between love and destruction doesn't just blur-it shatters.
