Betrayed. Abducted. Bound by Vengeance.

Angel thought turning twenty would mean freedom—escaping the gilded cage her father built around her. But on the night of her birthday, she lost everything. Taken by Leoric, the man who had spent years plotting his revenge, she was meant to be nothing more than a pawn—a sacrifice to break her father’s pride.

But fate had other plans.

A mysterious vortex pulls them into a deadly new world—a land ruled by darkness, where power belongs to the strong and escape is impossible. The only way back? A tribute to the supreme ruler: a virgin bride.

With danger closing in and an unbreakable bond forming between captor and captive, Angel and Leoric must face an impossible choice. In a world where innocence is currency and survival demands sacrifice, will revenge still be enough?

Or will they become each other’s salvation?

The Tribute Bride

Angel's gaze drifted to the tiny window of the cave-dwelling, a mere slit in the stone that framed the darkness beyond. Outside, an inky blackness enveloped the world, swallowing any trace of light. The air was heavy with stillness, and she couldn't shake the feeling of timelessness that surrounded her; it felt as if midnight had stretched into eternity, and the dawn was too far-fetched.

She needed to find answers, and the only person who could give them was Gavin Reeves or, rather, Lakan Nayou.

She needed to find answers, a fire of determination burning in her chest. The only one capable of shedding light on the truth was Gavin Reeves, whose other identity—Lakan Nayou was an enigma to herself.

She found herself lost in reflection as she traced the events of the past few days, each moment unraveling like a vivid tapestry of emotions and experiences.

The time she met Tala on the boat.
