Eclipsed by Lust 2

Some legacies are a prison. Some loves are a curse. And some women refuse to be claimed.

Aria Blake was never meant to be ordinary. Born into power, hidden from truth, and reclaimed by a bloodline that saw her as nothing more than a pawn, she is thrust into a world of military might, unspoken alliances, and expectations carved in iron. But Aria doesn't bend. She breaks the rules.

They wanted her to submit-to duty, to blood, to a man chosen for her.
She chose silence. She chose escape.
She chose a man who never asked anything of her... and never told her everything.

In marrying Marcus, her loyal partner in war and peace, Aria thought she'd found a sliver of freedom. But love, even unspoken, is rarely innocent. And freedom, in her world, always comes at a cost.

Haunted by the ghosts of her past and hunted by the weight of her name, Aria's final act is one of quiet rebellion. She disappears from their world, not in flight-but in death. And she takes the truth with her.

Her grave? A secret.
Her heart? Shattered.
Her story? Not yet finished.

As guilt, grief, and unanswered questions consume those she left behind, one man guards the silence she demanded. Another is left wondering if she ever looked back. And the powerful families that once pulled her strings? They'll never know where she rests-or why she refused to obey.

This is not a love story.
This is a requiem for a woman who chose to belong to no one.
Not even in the end.
