Flesh and Fable

St. Jude's Asylum is where the world sends its monsters to be forgotten.

Nurse Jade Thorne is supposed to be just another pair of steady hands. She isn't. Beneath her white uniform, black thorn vines crawl across her skin and a single black rose rests against her heart - a secret she has spent years hiding.

Then she is assigned to Silas Vane.

Restrained. Tattooed. Serving life for a murder he never once regretted. The doctors call him a psychopath. The staff refuse to go near him. Jade walks into his room anyway.

He thinks he's just a man who finally snapped.
She knows better.

What starts as clinical visits becomes something neither of them can control - late-night conversations, dangerous attraction, and a pull that feels older than the asylum itself. He is her patient. She is his only visitor who doesn't flinch.

They fall first as two broken humans in a place built to keep them apart.

The truth comes later.

He is a prince who doesn't remember his crown.
She is the queen who came to take him home.

And the seven kingdoms of sin are waking.

I will be posting one chapter a week. Thank you all for reading my story <3
