The Obsidian Betrothal

Details

Within the secluded walls of Blackthorn Keep, Dr. Isolde Moreau diligently tended to her most clandestine patient: Lord Alaric Thorne, a man condemned to a profound, mysterious catatonia for two years. Isolde, a physician with a formidable intellect and a chilling secret, prayed nightly for his continued slumber. For Alaric, once the charismatic scion of a powerful house, was also a monster she had witnessed commit unspeakable atrocities, a man whose dark ambition had nearly cost Isolde everything. Her desperate quiet was shattered the day Lord Thorne’s eyes unexpectedly opened, devoid of memory but brimming with a primal intensity. Faced with his unsettling aura and a past she couldn't afford to revisit, Isolde uttered a desperate fabrication. “My Lord, I am Isolde, your devoted confidante… your betrothed.” Now, bound by a dangerous lie within the opulent, suffocating confines of the Keep, Isolde must navigate Alaric’s awakening cruelty and the insidious mystery of his past, praying her facade doesn't crumble before the truth – or his rekindled madness – claims her.
