Freedom was supposed to feel safer.
Valen wouldn't know.
After escaping the cruel grip of Duke Morcant-a man who treated beauty like ownership and obedience like survival-Valen finds himself hidden within a rebellion sanctuary where kindness feels far more dangerous than cruelty ever did.
No locked doors.
No punishments.
No one demanding pieces of him in exchange for safety.
Worst of all?
People keep asking what he wants.
It's unsettling.
Especially when one infuriatingly patient nobleman refuses to leave him alone.
Cassian Dain is everything Valen has learned not to trust-steady, kind, and far too observant for comfort. He never pushes. Never demands. Never touches without permission.
And somehow, that makes him terrifying.
But while Valen struggles to heal, the kingdom itself begins to fracture.
A powerful noble house is quietly building something monstrous-laws designed to turn Omegas into property, obedience into law, and fear into control. As dangerous secrets rise to the surface, Valen realizes surviving Blackthorn may have made him the one person capable of stopping what comes next.
Because monsters like Morcant only thrive when fear stays silent.
And for the first time in his life-
Valen is done being silent.
A dark MM fairy-tale-inspired fantasy romance filled with slow-burn tension, healing after trauma, found family, political intrigue, rebellion, and a tender romance built on trust, choice, and learning that love can be gentle.
