The tale begins in the bustling, impoverished streets of Hanyang, where Yohan, a mute commoner, live among the forgotten and forsaken. The air is thick with the stench of decay and despair, a stark contrast to the grandeur of the royal palace that looms in the distance. Yohan, however, are a ghost in this city, unseen by most, but his defiance is palpable. Despite Yohan's silence, his eyes speak volumes-sharp, calculating, and burning with a fire that no one, not even the oppressive government, can extinguish.
Emperor Yi Hwan, a man consumed by power and cruelty, never intended to take notice of someone like Yohan. His world is one of iron-fisted rule and heartless decisions, yet Yohan's defiant gaze as he endure punishment for a crime he didn't commit, sparks something in him. When he sees Yohan kneeling before the magistrate, not begging for mercy but glaring back at those who seek to break him, Yi Hwan is taken aback.
Intrigued and unsettled by Yohan's silence and the strength that radiates from his battered form, he makes a decision that will bind them both in ways they cannot yet imagine. He buys Yohan, not as a man would buy a slave, but as a possession to bend and break. Yohan's body, bruised and broken, is now under his control, but the emperor soon learns that there is something more dangerous than defiance-an unwilling heart, a soul he cannot crush.
The story unfolds as Yi Hwan attempts to dominate and silence Yohan, but Yohan's resistance, Yohan's silence, and Yohan's unyielding spirit draw him closer, even as it pushes Yohan both toward a tragic and destructive love.

Lord of the Night
SAMPLE -- TO BE PUBLISHED AS EBOOK AND PAPERBACK IN 2026 His orders were simple: interrogate the Demon prince and then kill him. He can't afford to pity the Demon--much less fall for him. *** Fourteen years ago, the Demons conquered the world, decimating the Guardian order and enslaving humanity. Now, the last Guardians live underground, quietly rebuilding and waiting for a chance to strike back. Remgar, a noble Guardian hardened by loss, is honored with a mission of vengeance: interrogate the High Demon Prince and break him. It seems like a dream come true-until he meets the prisoner. Isalio, the younger brother of the Demon High Prince, is sarcastic, disarmingly sweet, and far too human. As forbidden feelings percolate between interrogator and captive, Remgar is forced to confront a truth more terrifying than any Demon: he doesn't want to break Isalio. He wants to save him. Torn between the oath he swore and the heart he never meant to offer, Remgar must decide what kind of Guardian he truly is. Because in a world where evil reigns and love is a death sentence, choosing wrong could doom them both. WARNING: This story contains content that may not be suitable for some readers.
