Nyarlathotep Dusk

Demon’s mark: bound by fate

Elena Dusk has always been an outcast in her small, superstitious town. Born with a glowing mark etched into her skin, she’s been labeled cursed, feared, and ostracized by everyone around her. She’s learned to live in the shadows, keeping her secrets hidden while trying to survive the relentless whispers at school. But everything changes when a mysterious and darkly captivating new student, Kael, arrives in town—and he seems to know exactly what her mark means. Kael is no ordinary boy. Beneath his charming smile lies a chilling truth: he’s a demon, sent to claim her soul as part of an ancient pact. For centuries, Kael has been a loyal servant of the underworld, carrying out his orders without hesitation. But when he meets Elena, something shifts. Her light is unlike anything he’s ever encountered, awakening emotions he thought were lost forever—a flicker of humanity that threatens to unravel his mission. As Kael and Elena’s fates become intertwined, they uncover a terrifying truth: her mark is the key to an ancient prophecy that could either seal the gates of the underworld forever or unleash chaos upon the world. With dark forces closing in and the clock ticking, Kael must make an impossible choice—betray his masters to protect Elena, or fulfill his duty and destroy the one person who makes him feel alive. Caught between the pull of their forbidden bond and the weight of their destinies, Elena and Kael must decide where their loyalties lie. Can love defy fate? Or will the darkness claim them both in the end? This is a thrilling tale of love, betrayal, and the fight to rewrite destiny in the face of impossible odds.
