A monster made of soft thing

Gabrielle was born into a dynasty carved from power a child of a ruthless king and the soft-hearted woman who somehow survived him.She inherited both of them:her father's cruelty,
her mother's gentleness,and a heart far too fragile for the world that watched her grow up behind iron gates.

She wanted love.
She dreamed of it.
She begged the universe for the kind of devotion her parents promised she would one day find.
But in the real world, no one ever wanted Gabrielle
they wanted the Severin empire that pulsed behind her name.

Every friend she trusted used her.Every man she let close betrayed her.Every heartbreak twisted something inside her
until the girl who once loved too deeply became a woman who destroyed without apology.Now, Gabrielle leaves ruin behind her like perfume.She crushes hearts as easily as she once offered her own.Feared more than her infamous father,
she is a whispered warning in dark hallways a beautiful disaster born from loneliness and desperation.

But even monsters bleed.
And Gabrielle's softest truth is the one she hides beneath every calculated smile:
she is still searching.
For love.
For loyalty.
For someone who chooses her not the power, not the wealth, not the name.

What she doesn't know is that someone already has.

There is a man in the shadows who has loved her quietly, violently, endlessly.
A man who would burn the world before letting it break her again.
A man she has never noticed
and who has never stopped watching.

Gabrielle Severin may believe she was born to be feared...
but love has been standing behind her all along,
waiting for the moment she finally turns around.
