Chereads / Ashes of Temptation: The Forbidden Lust / The Fall of the King’s Hound

The Fall of the King’s Hound

Reinhardt was born under a blood moon, a child of war and steel. Trained from infancy to serve the King's will, he became the most feared warrior in the empire. The hound on a leash, the blade in the dark. But even the strongest warriors are not immune to temptation.

His first encounter with Selene was not on the battlefield, but in a dream. A vision so vivid, so intoxicating, that it left him gasping for air. He woke to find a scar across his chest, a mark that had not been there the night before. It burned with an unknown power, pulsing whenever he thought of her. And so began his descent—a slow, inevitable unraveling.

The King knew. He had seen it before, in men greater than Reinhardt. Lust, when wielded as a weapon, was deadlier than any blade. And Selene was a master at forging such weapons.

Now, as assassins close in and shadows whisper his name, Reinhardt stands at the precipice of fate. Will he fight against the force pulling him into darkness, or will he embrace it and become something more?

Only time will tell.
