Some truths should never be discovered; perfect order is but a lie that suffocates to death. Elara is the Princess of Virgo, the embodiment of a sterile logic where every movement is calculated to avoid feeling. But beneath her mask of cold marble beats a destructive inner fire and a voracious thirst to break her own chains. When Kael, the Guardian of the opposing sign, crosses forbidden borders, the hunt begins: it is not a rescue, but an invasion of her perfect mind. Under flickering torchlight and in the darkness of the black market, Elara discovers that her spiritual father orchestrated her mother's fate to turn her into a puppet. Now she must choose between remaining a queen of crystal or surrendering to the toxic chaos of a man whose darkness is the only thing capable of extinguishing her inner fire. The Church hunts them, and every kiss is an act of war where desire blurs with danger. A dark romance and gothic fantasy novel about two broken souls who find in mutual destruction their only path to real life. Perfect for those who enjoy toxic power dynamics, forbidden attractions, and addictive chemistry that burns the palms.
