He was the monster who smiled while he broke her world apart. She was the ghost sent to destroy him from the inside. What began as hatred, manipulation, and brutal revenge slowly twisted into something far darker that neither of them could escape. In a world built on blood and power, where mercy is weakness and love is just another weapon, two fractured souls collide in the most dangerous way possible. This is not a story of redemption. This is not a story of soft healing or gentle romance. This is a story about two people who are already too broken to be fixed, and the violent pull that binds them anyway. Expect graphic, explicit, and often brutal erotic content that is deeply tied to power, control, trauma, and obsession. The smut is frequent and intense, but it exists within a larger, dark narrative in the story. Reader’s Discretion is Strongly Advised. This book contains extremely dark and triggering themes, including but not limited to: Graphic non-con and dub-con, torture and extreme violence, public murder and mutilation, childhood trauma and abuse, Rape (mentioned in backstory and through trauma), Psychological manipulation and mind games, Memory alteration, Power imbalance and toxic obsession, Suicidal ideation and heavy mental health struggles, Death, grief, and loss. If you are sensitive to any of the above, please do not proceed. The emotional and sexual dynamics are intense, messy, and at times disturbing. This is a dark romance with a heavy emphasis on plot, psychological depth, and character corruption. While there are numerous explicit sexual scenes, this is not a pure smut book. The story explores trauma bonding, moral decay, and the blurred lines between hatred and need. If you are looking for a story where the darkness is the point — where the characters do not become “good” people, and the ending is as brutal as the journey — then step inside. But be warned: This is my first attempt at writing a book. If you don't want to bet your money on a newbie writer, please don't. I'm not fully sure if the plot will be enjoyed by all or not. Proceed at your own risk.
