Whispers of a sinful heart
Born of an unwanted affair between a king and a courtesan, Cassian enters the world already condemned. Unloved, stripped of protection, and betrayed by blood meant to shield him, he is buried alive and left to fade into forgotten darkness.
But death does not claim him.
Years later, he is awakened by an ancient spell, Virelith Noctara, spoken unknowingly by Miravel—a quiet human servant hiding a far more dangerous truth. Cassian does not rise seeking forgiveness or acceptance. He returns with a single purpose: a slow, merciless revenge. To take the crown. To claim what was always denied to him.
As his path crosses with Mira’s, he discovers she is no ordinary servant. Behind her carefully crafted lies hides a runaway fae princess, and the very girl responsible for his awakening. Bound by secrets neither can afford to reveal, an unspoken connection begins to form—fragile, dangerous, and unwanted.
Yet feelings, once born, cannot be buried forever. They fester like a wound left untreated, growing more painful with every moment denied.
In a world ruled by betrayal, magic, and blood, love may prove to be the most dangerous power of all.
