Betrothed To The Night

A phoenix's blood is invaluable. One taste can turn into a drug, a cure, and, regrettably, an addiction that can unleash the fierce and untamed aspects of even the most virtuous being. The nocturnal creatures decimated half of the phoenix population until the strongest phoenix declared war on them. This conflict eventually led to a compromise and a significant sacrifice. In a secluded life, Eleanor Dankworth grew up with a rebellious spirit. However, her tranquil existence came to an abrupt end when her entire family was brutally massacred in front of her on her eighteenth birthday. Just as she thought things couldn't get worse, her betrothed arrived to claim her. Ares Mazitzis. His presence alone could make one believe he was the devil. Despite being the emperor's illegitimate son, deceitful, malicious, and indifferent entities bow to him. Feared by his people and family due to the darkness within him, Ares's main goal is to find and claim his betrothed, who was nothing more than a sacrificial lamb. What happens when he finds warmth and love from this lamb? What happens when all he wants to do is protect her from the looming darkness and himself? A creature of the night and a phoenix of light... Their love shocks and perilously strikes the world.
