They say I shouldn’t risk everything for him… but walking away was never an option.

The man who saved me is now in chains, accused of crimes he couldn’t possibly commit. His own people have turned against him, eager to make him a scapegoat for a wave of atrocities that have struck fear into our world.

To them, he’s a killer—a threat that needs to be contained.

But to me, he is… everything.

They don’t know what I know. They haven’t seen the truth behind those haunted eyes or felt the strength in the hands that pulled me out of the darkness. They don’t realize that there are secrets buried deep, layers of betrayal, and a sinister force moving in the shadows.

Saving him won’t be easy. I’m walking straight into the lion’s den, where danger closes in from all sides. And the deeper I dig, the more I unravel a dark conspiracy that threatens to destroy both our worlds.

But I won’t turn back now. I’ll risk everything—my life, my magic, my heart—because leaving him behind isn’t a choice I’m willing to make.

Even if it means embracing a darkness I never knew I had in me.
