After the fall of House Obsidian, only one thing remained: me. I, Selene Obsidian, am the last heir, and I'll find my way into the castle no matter what it takes.
My adoptive family, House Kallis, treats me like disposable help, using me to keep their crumbling, soon-to-be-bankrupt estate afloat. But I have my own reasons for enduring this life. Uncovering the truth behind my house's destruction and finding a way to make myself known is what keeps me standing.
That-and the fact that I'm a damn good fighter. Work smarter, not harder.

Dive into the a tale of self-discovery, magic and the unlickiest of loves. ___________________ As I stood beside Rigel in the moonlit garden, I felt the air thicken with tension. His gaze burned into mine, and I sensed the struggle within him to maintain control. His eyes, like dark pools, drew me in, and I felt myself drowning in their depths. My breath caught as his gaze lingered on my face, and I knew he was fighting the urge to reach for me. My own desire rose to meet his, and for a moment, we simply stood there, our hearts pounding in unison. Then, with a visible effort, he tore his eyes away, his voice low and husky as he spoke. "We should go inside." The words were a thin veil over the raw passion that threatened to consume us both. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I realized how close we were to surrendering to our desires.Lengkap
