    Summary

    Elain Archeron has always been seen as something delicate—too soft, too quiet, too breakable. But she knows better. There is rot beneath the beauty, shadows beneath the bloom. And now, there is a voice whispering in her mind, curling around her like smoke, coaxing her toward something she does not understand. She is losing herself, slipping between dreams and waking nightmares. And this time, she is not sure she wants to be found.

    Meanwhile, Lucien Vanserra has spent his life surviving—trapped between courts, between loyalties, between truths he never asked for. For years, he has waited, patient as only a fox can be. But patience is a cruel thing when it leaves you empty-handed. When it leaves you watching the one thing you have always longed for slip through your fingers like autumn leaves on the wind.

    This is a story of longing and loss, of haunted nights and golden mornings. A story of fate and choice, of bonds and broken things. A love story, tangled in the threads of a gothic dream.

    Because even the softest light can cast the darkest shadows.

    Summary

    When Zelda wakes, she remembers nothing.

    Not her friends, not her history, not the castle that once was her home.

    Not even the man kneeling before her, calling himself her husband.

    Summary

    “I thought we could play a variation,” he said smoothly. “As, apparently, my ideas are brilliant.”

    She snorted as derisively as she could, earning a chuckle. She almost didn’t want to know but couldn’t help herself — not with anything when it came to him.

    “What variation?”

    “Touching is vital in this game, isn’t that what you said?” His tone was excessively innocent. “So I propose we get the same position instructions, but if you choose a dot which doesn’t lead to you touching me, then you take something off.”

    She frowned at the mat, processing that, then turned a skeptical look up at him over her shoulder. “Are you suggesting we play strip Twister?”

    He smiled indulgently. “Only if you don’t want to touch me.”

    ---

    Or, Draco returns home to find his roommate playing Twister and gets an idea.
