The Supreme Lord's Surrogate Bride
In the dimly lit room, Magnus gently caressed her cheek. "My love, you know I've been a man of power and ambition, but in your eyes, I see a world I never knew existed."
"I've always known there is goodness in you, even behind that tough exterior. But if you have two choices in your hands, will you choose love over power, milord?" Lysandra asked.
Drawing her closer, Magnus whispered seductively, "Perhaps I desire both. Stay with me and I'll make sure you won't slip away, because I want you to be my only bride. I don't care if you're a boy. I would not wish any companion in the world but you. I'll protect you, cherish you, and love you like no other."

After a terrible fever following the nuclear explosions wiped out many people on Earth, especially women and children, making childbirth risky for both mothers and babies, Lysandra Mullendore must go through the changed world. The old world with its structures has crumbled, and what's left is those with power and their strength. The looming threat of extinction is a constant shadow, a grim reminder of the fragile state of humanity as it struggles to endure in this perilous new reality.
Some women, like her, managed to survive, but they are very scarce. And even fewer are protected from groups of men who, out of fear, try to dominate those who are left. Her journey takes a dangerous turn when she escapes a brutal surrogate program "The Hive", disguising herself as a boy using fake name, to survive in the oppressive Regime of Acheron.
Living in disguise as a boy in a world governed by tyrants posed its challenges, but fate led her to an upscale café where the elite seek solace in luxury. It was here that she discovers an unexpected talent within herself, one that can melt even the iciest of hearts, including that of Magnus Caelumthral, known as the Supreme Lord. Despite his formidable intellect and power, his heart was a fortress until her charm breached its defenses, captivating him completely.
In a post-apocalyptic world shattered by disease and despair, Lysandra's strength becomes her beacon of salvation. Her presence awakens something in Magnus, something he thought was long gone. Together, they navigate a world on the brink of chaos, where love and power collide, often demanding sacrifices along the way.
Amidst the chaos, while his men relentlessly eliminated the rebels and seek the best candidates for the surrogate program, Magnus relentlessly pursues the little boy... Lysandra, determined to make her his, no matter the cost.
Can she break his heart's icy chains? Can their connection endure in a world where survival is a daily struggle and trust is a rare find? Can love flourish in the darkest of times, when she's the key to his peace and he's the key to her freedom?
In the end, for humanity to start anew, there needs to be someone to lead the way.
