Dread and Devotion

He is not a hero. He never wanted to be.

Arvayth Shauryavansh-the Lord of the Abyss-a man carved from silence, wrath, and shadows. His past is soaked in blood, his heart buried beneath layers of scars. In his eyes, there is no mercy-only danger, only destruction. A villain the world fears... and a man who refuses to give love, or accept it. For in his darkness, love can never survive.

She is light.

Eshvika Sharma, a small-town girl with dreams brighter than her laughter. Her heart is kind, her soul untouched by cruelty, her only wish-to open a little tea café and live free, far from cages called "marriage." But when her sister is taken from her in the most brutal way, Eshvika swears vengeance. And her path of revenge leads to him.

A marriage bound by convenience.
He weds her for duty.
She weds him for war.

But behind the veil of enmity lies a labyrinth of secrets, betrayal, and truths that can shatter them both. Because in the abyss where Arvayth rules, love is forbidden... yet devotion may bloom like fire in the dark.

A story of mystery, revenge, and a love as dangerous as sin.
Because sometimes, even villains are written into prayers.
