In a world plagued by a deep-seated enmity between humans and night creatures, the struggle for dominance extends throughout the ages. Among the three lands of Wolfburg, Alstla, Cepheus, and Persia, Cepheus is renowned for its formidable population of night creatures and a few daylight creations, while Alstla is strictly inhabited by the day creatures. Persia, on the other hand, serves as a neutral ground, offering solace to all creatures willing to submit to the ruler's authority. The tension between Cepheus and Alstla has long been a source of instability, with its repercussions reaching even the highest echelons of the council. It is in this bleak scenario that a solution is born - an alliance, forged by a marriage between Cepheus and Alstla. Laurel, however, becomes a thorn in the side of the Duke of Alstla and his family. Conceived through the despicable act of the Duke's drunken assault on a young maid, she enters the world burdened by the circumstances of her birth - not a product of love, but of violence. Since her earliest days, her half-sisters have harbored a deep resentment towards her, constantly reminding her of her humble origins. Their hearts yearn to rid themselves of Laurel's presence, but fate takes a curious turn, and an opportunity presents itself. Laurel Pathrick is chosen to be the bride of Leandro, the infamous younger brother of Lord Alfred, also known as the Devil's Son. This choice not only alters the course of Laurel's life but also sets into motion a series of events that will have far-reaching repercussions on the precarious balance between humans and night creatures. Pain, struggle, and the search for belonging intertwine in this tale of forbidden love and political intrigue. As Laurel embarks on her journey into the heart of darkness, her resilience and determination will be tested, and the fate of the fragile alliance between Cepheus and Alstla hangs in the balance. With a touch of the mystical and a sprinkle of mystery, this engrossing narrative invites us to explore the depths of both the human and night creature realms, revealing the complexities of their entangled existence and the hope that love and compassion may transcend the barriers of fear and loathing. vulg...
