At the age of 14, Eiravyne suffered a brutal burn at the hands of her father, a punishment she believed stemmed from her own failings—her perceived lack of beauty, worth, and value. But years later, after the slaughter of her entire family, she uncovered the truth: the burn wasn’t just cruelty; it was a ritual, binding her to Duke Ilkar Skivarion, a man her family had raised her to fear without question. Forced into an arranged marriage with the cold and calculating Duke, Eiravyne became ensnared in a world of political intrigue and power plays. Her fragile sense of self shattered further when she discovered her abusive family had not been her true bloodline. She was the last heir of the Sangrevers—a fearsome and reviled lineage known for their seductive cunning, treachery, and lust for control, annihilated by the king’s decree. Amid this turmoil stood Urag, a man as loyal as he was mysterious, bound by a past that entwined with hers in ways she couldn’t yet fathom. While Ilkar sought to use her bloodline for his ruthless ambitions, Urag’s actions spoke of a fierce loyalty, though his reasons remained locked in the shadows of their shared history. As Eiravyne struggled to reclaim her identity, she was faced with two impossibilities: resisting Ilkar’s cold manipulations and uncovering the truth behind Urag’s allegiance. ******* Updates: 02 chapter /day Genre: fanatasy, female lead, romance,magic, obssessive male lead, good support side side characters, a lot of intimacy, enemies to lovers, powerful couple, evil and good , bad boy .forced marriage Cover: is mine, it is commissioned, i don't alow anyone to use it .

Ilkar moved back slightly, his golden eyes still locked onto hers with an intensity that made Eiravyne's heart race.
Eiravyne's breath came in shallow, uneven gasps as she struggled to find her voice.
Her gaze dropped to the bed, avoiding his penetrating stare as she tried to compose herself.
The weight of his previous words and the rawness of his confession left her feeling overwhelmed, her chest tightening with a mixture of anxiety and hope.
"Ilkar," she began, her voice trembling slightly, "p-protect me... Am I even allowed to say something like this?" She hesitated, her fingers clutching at the sheets as she sought the right words.
"You said before that I could want anything... for myself. So... can I want you to... p-protect me?"
The words tumbled out, each one imbued with a desperate sincerity.
Eiravyne's heart beat wildly in her chest, her emotions laid bare in the fragile space between them.
