Gilded Crimson Ties

Aurelia Corvelle hadn't asked for any of this. And yet had her opinion ever mattered in the first place? All her life she had spent training, disciplining and collecting scars she would hide behind her seductress facade, parading the occasional night as vigilante and murderess Crimson Noire. She had been hidden away behind the safety of the rebellion compound up until she had become old enough to sneak her way out, the thrill of the escape and the freedom exhilarating to her soul.

So when an infuriating, black haired, asshole of a man happened to ruin her night away, what more could she do but stab him? So what if he was pretty. He was a nuisance.

A stupid, heterochromic nuisance.

And with that she sealed her fate.

Kairan Emrys had never encountered something like this before. Rather a woman like this. A very dumb, cocky, blatantly irrational woman. It wasn't that he cared for being stabbed, rather that she had had the nerve to stab him as if she had not a care for her life. As if she didn't know who he was.

So when this regrettably hot whirlwind dumped her arrogance atop his ego, what more could he do but trap her within his own twisted games. Life was meant to be survived after all. The entertainment and her murder would also be free. A win-win situation.

And with that he sealed her fate.

Yet with the trials and perilous journeys they seemed to be forcibly pushed together into, will they be able to hold true to their character, or will fate have its way with them?

In a world of kingdoms, magic, friendships and betrayals, trials and tests of courage and death, will these two ever be compatible or more importantly,
...
alive?
