Where Shadows Belong

This is a twisted romance of two men, in which one wants to love and the other craves love.
Draven was feared.
In his first life, he ruled with unmatched power, his influence stretching across kingdoms and realms. People obeyed, envied, and feared him-but none truly knew him. He kept his heart locked away, untouched and unreachable, believing that attachment was weakness, and love... a lie.
Then he died.
And the world gave him a second chance.
In a realm where magic flows like blood and destiny can be rewritten, Draven awakens-not as the powerful man everyone feared, but as someone fragile, vulnerable, and painfully aware of what he's never had: a chance to truly love.
Yaretzi sees him.
Sees the brokenness the world ignored.
Sees the heart he kept hidden.
Together, two souls, scarred and starved for connection, must navigate a world of magic, danger, and their own shadows.
Because sometimes the most feared hearts are the ones that love the deepest-and even the brokenest of hearts can find someone who understands them.
