Almost five thousand years ago, Selene was the strongest kingdom in the universe, ruled by Cyrus Sol Selene. Rumours had it that he killed his father to take over the throne. Everybody bowed down at his shadow's mere presence. Everyone except her. Nila, the overlooked daughter of King Veer, was nothing more than a pawn in her father’s desperate gamble to save his crumbling kingdom. Offered as a sacrifice to the notorious king, she was thrust into a marriage forged by fear and power. Bound to a man as dangerous as he is captivating, Nila must navigate a court of shadows, secrets, and blood. Will she find a way to escape the grasp of the werewolf king, or will she fall into his arms? As they navigate through life, Cyrus and Nila are pulled together and apart by fate. What will they choose? Duty or Love? Filled with action, heartache, and quiet moments of connection, this story is about love, loss, and the courage to embrace the unknown.

Peace before Storm.

In the quiet of the night, Laila tip-toed through the servant's chamber till she felt a tap on her shoulder, making her gasp in fear.

Victor returned the hug, patting her head slowly. ''Me too. That is why I am going to come back—for you, for my family. Then I will introduce you to my family. My sisters are going to love you,'' he softly placed a peck on her forehead.

''You better come back, brave and strong, I will wait for you, but I need you to come back safe,''
