A Tale of a Starlit Sky

Many believe magic is a fool's bargain. a myth. A legend. A lie. In this world though, impossibilities thread through the air and magic dances on the wind. All means of creatures and beings can be found. fae or vampire. mortal or immortal. a world that should be an iridescent beauty.

Yet, the world has no beauty. War has forged on for over a decade and a half. Bloodshed is recurring. Curses are common. Cruelty is natural. Kindness and love is a rarity, one even magic cannot bring about. The night is empty of stars.

Isabella Valentine is a star. She might well have been stripped from the night sky itself. Her kindness matches only the shine of the sun and her consideration shimmers only as bright as a star. She is as rare as a diamond, even if she is only a sweet mortal girl.

A mortal girl with a past worthy of a villain. A dwindle of darkness and pain has ruled her entire life. Darkness is all she has ever known but she never let it consume her. she simply shined brighter.

Now the darkness has come for her again.

Leonardo Blackwood is a shadow. He is darkness and night Incarnate. His cruelty can only be compared to a monsters and his rage can be as dangerous as a blade. He is a faerie king, he rules the dark fae through fear and threat.

A king with no heart at all. A monster who feels nothing and takes everything. He never thought himself capable of love. He was too evil. That all changed on a particularly tense night, when he laid eyes on Isabella.

Now his heart beats only for her.

A mortal woman crafted from light and compassion. An immortal male crafted from ice and brutality. An unlikely pair. A fated bond between them. He loves her. She hates him.

Although perhaps they are not so 'unlikely' because Isabella has secrets even she does not know. A life she never knew she could have lived. A family lost due to rage and vengeance. A father and brothers she did not know she shared blood with.
