In the mystical realm of Eldrida, where the sun dipped into the horizon and painted the sky with hues of crimson and gold, the kingdom of Calonia stood as a testament to power and tradition. The royal family, with Queen Lirien at its helm, ruled with an iron fist, enforcing the ancient laws that governed every aspect of life. Among these laws was the strict prohibition on same-sex relationships, punishable by death. The queen's own sister, Princess Sofia, had fallen victim to this cruel fate, leaving behind a legacy of sorrow and whispered tales of forbidden love. In this treacherous world, Princess Elianore, the queen's daughter, grew into a beautiful and headstrong young woman. Her life was one of duty and obligation, with every move calculated to ensure the continuation of the royal lineage. But Elianore's fate was about to take a dramatic turn with the arrival of a mysterious and captivating lady-in-waiting, Aurelia. With piercing green eyes and raven-black hair, Aurelia was a breath of fresh air in the stifling castle walls. As she navigated the complexities of court life, her sharp wit and kindness drew Elianore in, awakening feelings the princess had never dared to acknowledge. As they found themselves drawn to each other, the danger of their forbidden love became increasingly apparent. One misstep could mean disaster, not just for themselves, but for the entire kingdom.

This is the Emperor. I think. Alexandr. Queen Victoria's grandson, the foreign British power. I feel his blood beat, thin, beneath his paper skin, in those blue veins. Something amiss. Something that's too weak in the Russian snow, the turned earth. His hand is cold against my cheek, thumb winding through my coiled hair. "How can I thank you for saving my son's life?" He runs a thumb against my lower lip, waiting. Not pressing, just hoping with bated breath. The walls are thin. The walls whisper. I pull away with a cold smile. I catch my eyes in his gaze, the forbidding ice of my home. Of what the snow made me. The wild, black hair of a vědma. "Haven't you heard? I'm the devil, Alexandr. You don't want to bed me unless you wish to lose your soul." *** A parallel universe where Rasputin was born as Matryona Grigorievna Rasputina. There was real magic. And the tsar most certainly fell under her spell. When she falls, so too will St. Petersburg. *** DARK FANTASY (UPDATES WEEKLY) COPYRIGHT 2018 BY SOPHIA WHITTEMORE. All Rights Reserved.
