The small town of St. Ives is shrouded by mist and mountains, its secrets sitting heavy on Ominis Gaunt's shoulders. His lifelong friendship with Miradevi Lakshmi colors the darkness that saturates his world, and relieves him when the weight of what he does to keep her safe threatens to crush him. All he wants is to get her as far away from the town as possible, but ancient pacts bound in blood and the darkness of his family's history keep his hands devastatingly tied.
A string of disappearances and whispers of an ancient legend make Mira question her best friend and the secrets he keeps from her- and Ominis Gaunt finds out that nothing in the town of St. Ives stays buried for long.
The woods grow hungry, and it is all Ominis can do to keep himself and the woman he loves from being brutally devoured.

The Blood We Share
She was born with light in her veins-magic that shimmered, warm and wild. But in a family that feared this, she was punished for every flicker of joy. Years of silence, control, and cruelty turned her into something else: not broken, but sharpened. Like a shadow with a heartbeat. Ominis Gaunt has resisted everything-his bloodline, the Dark Arts, even desire. But her? He can't tune her out. She's the only thing that makes the castle feel alive. He hears her magic before she casts. Feels her before she speaks. And every glance between them feels like a dare. They shouldn't want each other. They shouldn't even speak. So why does it feel like the only thing holding them together is how long they can keep pretending they don't?

Mostly focuses on Garreth, Sebastian, and Ominis. Note: Some chapters are SUPER short, like 600 words while others are longer at a couple thousand. Fem x MC and Fem x Y/N Triggers: hostage trope, grabbing, blood, bruises, manhandling, dark characters, implied SA, and others. Will be specified at the beginning of every chapter if applicable.
