Hated, Chosen, Loved: Reborn in flames.
For Lorielle, life had always been cruel to her. From the moment she could remember, her world had been one of restriction, seclusion and any word used to convey someone being caged.
She lived not as a person, but as something owned, controlled, traded and watched. Ever since she was born, her mother had always been in charge of what she wears, eats, drinks, says, and does in her whole life.
Never was she asked what she wanted in life, as her dreams had been planned out, long before she was born.
She was never meant to dream.
Yet, beneath the silence and obedience forced upon her, Lorielle held onto one unyielding desire, to be free from every shackle that bound her.
But freedom is never a simple mission.
Hidden truths begin to surface, and Lorielle slowly realises that her captivity is not without reason. There are secrets tied to her existence, secrets powerful enough to threaten kingdoms and shake thrones. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous her world becomes.
Then comes he.
King Aldric, a pure blooded vampire. A man bound by duty, power. Aldric is the definition of cold, adamant, and feared, he stands on the opposite side of everything Lorielle has ever known. Where she longs for freedom and affection, he is chained by responsibility.
Aldric hated Lorielle to the core. He swore he could kill her if he was afforded the opportunity to.
There was no hate bigger than Aldric's hate towards Lorielle.
Their paths were never meant to cross, but when they do, everything begins to unravel.
In a world of power, betrayal, and unspoken desires, Lorielle must decide:
Will she risk everything for the freedom she has always dreamed of,
Or will she become a prisoner of something far more dangerous than chains… her own heart?
