A dark fantasy where a captive falls into the orbit of a keeper of forbidden lore, and power becomes its own seduction. Atmospheric and brooding, this opener trades neon for shadow-soaked halls and secrets that bind tighter than chains. Ideal for readers who like their dark romance laced with worldbuilding, slow-burning forbidden tension, and a morally grey figure whose intentions stay deliciously hard to read.
