~Eclipsed~
In the shadowed alleys of a steam-choked city, whispers of rebellion stir beneath the elegant facade of the upper society.
Rosentine, the flower of the Dukedom, hides beneath a mask of a siren, her heart pounding as she steps into the undercity, a place where secrets coil like smoke and danger lurks in every shadow. Her mission is clear. To find her missing brother, rumored to have been taken by the underworld's most dangerous leader. But the deeper she delves, the closer she gets to the man at the center of it all.
He watches her with eyes like molten obsidian, sharp, calculating, a predator in human skin. As the kingpin of the undercity, his reputation is as dangerous as his smile. Yet there's a darkness in him that pulls pour roses closer, a mystery that she's compelled to unravel even as she knows he might be the very key to her brother's disappearance. In their world, alliances are forged in blood, and trust is a luxury neither can afford.
When their paths cross, it's in the flickering light of a gaslamp, his fingers tightening around her wrist as he pulls her against a brick wall, his breath burning against her ear.
"You think you can play in my world without consequences, little songbird?" He murmured, a wicked smile curling his lips.
But Rosé's defiance burns just as brightly, her dagger pressed to his side, her voice a whisper of silk. "Try me, if you want,"
In a world where power is the only currency and betrayal is a shadow at every corner, the fairy and the demon must navigate a dance of lies and desires, where every touch is a weapon and every secret could shatter their fragile alliance. But as their game of cat and mouse spirals into something more dangerous, they'll discover the line between love and hate is thinner than they ever imagined. And in the Undercity, where hearts burn and revolution smolders, passion can be the deadliest weapon of all.
Will Rosé find the truth she seeks, or will she be consumed by the very darkness she's trying to escape?
