Their connection should mean nothing, but soon becomes everything. And what begins as harmless flirtation quickly turns into an obsession. As they navigate the perilous theatre of power, performance, and desire, discovering that the greatest danger at court is wanting something you can't control. 👑 An alternate history romance, inspired by the Delights of the Enchanted Island party that took place at Versailles AND the Affair of the Poisons that shocked the court at Versailles in the 17th century.

When a missing person, a suspicious murder, and a trail of secrets collide, brilliant autistic detective Ross Campbell and the fearless, chaotic Freya Gray must untangle the truth-while navigating sharp wit, flirtation, and a few very inconvenient surprises.

Jaka spent his first life drifting without direction-lazy, unmotivated, and indifferent to the future. When he failed the university entrance exam, the fragile foundation of his life crumbled. Friends vanished, family turned their backs, and even the girl he thought he would build a future with spat on his name. Mocked, abandoned, and drowning in self-disgust, he lived the next twenty years like a hollow shell. No dreams, no drive, no hope. His days blended into nights, suffocating in regret until his pointless existence finally reached its quiet, pathetic end. ‎ ‎But death did not grant escape. He awakens in a world drenched in blood, in a body battered and scarred, surrounded by mountains of corpses whose faces twist in eternal terror. Before him stands a monstrous being-massive, horned, crimson-eyed, and radiating hatred powerful enough to crush a mortal mind. Yet Jaka's heart does not stir. No fear. No shock. Nothing but numb resignation. He has long forgotten what it means to feel alive. ‎ ‎This demon is Orba, the Abyssal King, ruler of the darkest plane and executioner of heroes. Instead of killing Jaka, Orba claims him as a tattered scrap of fate-someone not chosen by gods nor loved by destiny. And for that very reason, he becomes Orba's prisoner, slave, and unwanted protégé. As Jaka is forced into brutal training, forged in suffering, and stripped of weakness, a question begins to smolder in the emptiness of his broken spirit: if a man who already lost everything is given a second chance-not to be a hero, but to survive, to sharpen his blade, and to carve meaning from despair-just how terrifying can he become? ‎ ‎Thus begins the rebirth of a failure who seeks not glory, but a reason to breathe again. A man not chosen by fate... but shaped by the abyss itself.
