Malcolm Bright

Outlawed Desires: Beyond the Chains

Asher Carter has spent his entire life in the shadows of Eldermire, a city that thrives on control and conformity. An orphan raised under the suffocating rule of the Council of Purity, he has learned that survival means silence. Now working as a waiter at The Gilded Spoon, an elite café where the city’s powerful gather, he keeps his head down, his true self locked behind careful smiles and lowered eyes. Because in Eldermire, some desire is a crime—and loving the wrong person can be a death sentence. But temptation wears a dangerous face—Malcolm Hayes, the Mayor’s only son. Privileged, charming, and bound by duty, Malcolm is everything Asher can never have. Betrothed to the daughter of a high-ranking council member, he is the perfect heir to Eldermire’s legacy of purity. Yet beneath his carefully crafted facade lies a secret that threatens to destroy him: an undeniable pull toward the quiet waiter who refuses to meet his gaze. When a single, reckless moment shatters the fragile illusion they’ve both clung to, Asher and Malcolm find themselves hunted by a city that sees their love as a disease to be eradicated. Their only hope lies beyond Eldermire’s borders, in a distant land where love is not bound by law. But escaping means defying an empire, outwitting a ruthless regime, and risking everything for a future that may not exist. In a city where love is outlawed and betrayal lurks around every corner, one question remains—will they find freedom, or will their love be buried in the ashes of Eldermire? --- Trigger Warning!
