Synopsis
“I will not become the Duke devoured by madness… nor the son enslaved by his father’s shadow.”
Whispers crawl through the ancient halls of Beaumont.
Rumors of blood magic. Of betrayal. Of a Duke whose legacy rotted from within.
Aldric de Beaumont—illegitimate heir and decorated captain of the royal knights—returns to his ancestral duchy to find it poisoned by corruption and haunted by the remnants of his father’s forbidden sorcery. Branded by a curse he never asked for, Aldric walks the thin line between loyalty and lunacy, between man… and the monster his blood yearns to become.
But in the hush between whispers, another voice calls to him—soft, luminous, familiar.
Eleanor Clairvaux, the mysterious healer from his childhood, whose spirit lingers between life and light. Her presence steadies him yet threatens his fragile grasp on reason. She speaks of destiny, of sin rewritten, and of a child who may hold their salvation—or damnation.
As madness stalks his every step, Aldric must confront the truth buried beneath centuries of deceit: the Beaumont bloodline forged a pact with an ancient power now stirring in its grave. The corruption is spreading, twisting flesh and fate alike, and the key to stopping it lies within Aldric himself.
“You carry the curse of his blood, Aldric,” Elias whispers—the voice that both anchors and unravels him.
Torn between duty and desire, haunted by visions and betrayal, Aldric must decide which nightmare to embrace:
The darkness bequeathed by his father… or the one blooming in his own heart.
The future of Beaumont—and the bond that defies death—hangs on a single choice.
“The storm is here,” she murmurs. “Will you rise from it, Aldric… or drown?”
