At first, it feels like salvation from the relentless rain—until the doors slam shut behind them and refuse to open again.

As the mansion twists reality around them, alliances fracture, secrets surface, and survival becomes more than just finding a way out—it becomes a test of sanity, trust, and sacrifice. The deeper they explore, the clearer it becomes: this house has been waiting for them. Not everyone will escape. Some were never meant to.

Everyone’s got a mark. Step out of line, and it spreads. I’ve already lost my parents to it.

In the kingdom of Harta, power is measured by blood, loyalty, and fear. After the death of the previous king, King Jameson, the new King Mansis rules a court rife with corruption, cruelty, and ambition. The city whispers of a dark knight — Darian Duskbane — an eight-foot-tall warrior whose presence commands both awe and terror. Darian acts not for crowns or kingdoms but for the innocent. Despite his monstrous size, Darian moves like a shadow, orchestrating rescues and sabotages that expose Harta’s injustices while leaving the tyrant and his court scrambling for answers. As Darian plots in secret, sabotaging the king’s court and creating opportunities for the oppressed, Silas watches like a hawk, hunting a shadow he cannot yet grasp. Each confrontation escalates in danger, and every act of defiance brings Darian closer to exposure. Meanwhile, the Dowager-Queen observes his actions with a mixture of horror and calculation, warning that interference with the king’s authority could ignite a war within the court itself. Through daring rescues, strategic sabotage, and alliances with those brave enough to oppose tyranny, Darian becomes more than a legend — he becomes a symbol of hope. But the forces against him, both within Harta and beyond its borders, are relentless. When war, betrayal, and ambition collide, Darian must choose not only how to protect the innocent, but whether the kingdom he serves is worth saving, or whether the shadows themselves are the only safe refuge. This is a story of strength, courage, and defiance against a corrupt throne, where one man’s power is measured not by titles or crowns, but by the lives he chooses to protect in a world ruled by fear.

Rain-slick alleys. Neon reflections bouncing off puddles like broken promises. The city never sleeps not because it wants to, but because it doesn’t dare. Most people walk these streets on autopilot. Not me. For me, every corner hums with life, every shadow whispers something I probably shouldn’t hear. Misfortune seems to follow me, like a loyal dog with terrible timing. It started with a disappearance. A man, a shadow, gone before I could blink. And then… someone was watching. Always watching. Curiosity tugged at me like a leash I couldn’t escape. What seemed like a coincidence twisted into something darker, something stitched into the veins of this city. The deeper I followed, the more tangled it all became. Lies. Secrets. Shadows that move when you’re not looking. Every step forward made survival a gamble: know when to pull, know when to cut loose. This is a city that punishes the curious. And I… I was far too curious.

Dark Heart (Cuore Oscuro) Venice is a city of masks. By day, it dazzles with beauty, but by night its shadows belong to men like Antonio Moretti. Ruthless, untouchable, and feared across Italy, his name alone is enough to silence a room. His blue eyes see everything, and his hands have ended more lives than the canals could ever carry away. I wasn’t supposed to meet him. I wasn’t supposed to see the side of Venice that tourists are never meant to see—the side where one wrong turn can make you prey. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. One night, under the weight of the city’s silence, Antonio became my savior… and my captor. He called me coramia (my heart) like I already belonged to him. And maybe I did. Because the more I fought to stay away, the deeper he pulled me into his world of war, loyalty, and vendetta. Antonio doesn’t play by rules. His love is obsession. His protection feels like a cage. Yet every glance, every touch, burns through me until I can’t tell the difference between fear and desire. But in Venice, nothing stays hidden for long. His enemies are watching. His empire is built on secrets. And being marked as Antonio’s means I’ll either rise beside him… or be destroyed with him. Some hearts aren’t meant to be saved. Some are meant to be claimed.

All my life I wanted just one thing—love from my husband, Maxwell Deverell. He is a powerful CEO, admired by the world. And me? I am only his trophy. Beautiful. Silent. Invisible. I’ve begged for his attention. I’ve twisted myself into shapes I no longer recognize, just to be enough for him. But no matter what I do, he never truly sees me. And still—I love him. I don’t know how not to. To escape the emptiness, I turned to pottery. That’s where I met Mickey. A law student with clay on his hands and warmth in his eyes. He makes me laugh when I’ve forgotten how. And when he touches me… I feel alive in ways that terrify me. But this is wrong. Because I love Maxwell. I always will. He is my husband, my vow, my weakness. So why does my heart race for another man? Why does part of me want more than what I was given? Is it betrayal to crave the very thing I’ve been starving for all along? I don’t know what scares me more— Losing Maxwell… Or losing myself in Mickey.

For Jamal, it began with a whisper. For Aamina, it began in a dream. And for both, it would culminate in a bond neither expected; yet both were destined for. Jamal ran away from Nur Afiya on a night that almost destroyed him. A night when betrayal and violation crept too close to reality.

Through faith, work, and quiet surrender, he rebuilt himself piece by piece. But healing carries its own mystery. Without knowing, Jamal’s soul work had stirred awake something sacred in the unseen. A divine romantic connection written into his destiny long before his birth. Then came the visions: a woman, unknown yet deeply familiar, haunting his dreams with silent longing. Believing them to be signs of mercy, he returned to Nur Afiya, seeking answers from his old shaykh. Yet, just hours upon returning to the town he's sworn never to see again, fate greeted him first with his past. Rofiya, his former lover, reappeared; this time with a dying child she claimed was his. A boy whose only hope for survival is Jamal’s blood. Meanwhile, far north in Marhaba, Aamina had long locked her heart against love. A devastating heartbreak from the past had taught her silence, until a mysterious stranger began appearing in her dreams. Just as she began to awaken to what would be her destined connection, her grandmother arranged her marriage to Chief Muhammad; a man of power, yet deaf to her soul’s whisper.
