Doelynn

In the grand Eryndral Empire, where nobility rules with iron wills and gilded masks, Eimear Althaea has lived a life of quiet obscurity. Orphaned at a very young age, she was sent to live with her distant uncle, a reclusive gardener for the illustrious Cerynthian Hall, the ancestral home of the powerful House Velisar. Hidden away in a small, weathered cottage on the estate’s outskirts, Eimear has spent her days tending to flowers and dreaming of freedom beyond the towering walls of the hall.

But her quiet existence shatters the day she catches the eye of Valerian Drakos, the enigmatic Duke of Velisar. Feared by many and respected by all, Valerian is a man whose presence commands submission, and yet his gaze lingers on Eimear with an unsettling intensity. To him, her fragility is a fascination, her defiance a challenge, and her tears... a temptation.

As Valerian’s interest in her deepens, Eimear finds herself drawn into the shadowy world of the Velisar family—a world of dangerous secrets, ruthless ambitions, and unspoken desires. While the Duke offers her a life of opulence and power, Eimear longs for freedom from his consuming obsession.

In a game of power where hearts are pawns and freedom comes at a cost, Eimear must decide: will she surrender to the Duke’s intoxicating control, or will she find the strength to carve her own destiny, even if it means defying the most powerful man in the empire?
