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

Nayou gasped for breath. The air was thick, pressing against his chest like an iron vise. He stumbled forward, his footsteps echoing through the endless, suffocating darkness of the tunnel. Hours had passed—at least, it felt like hours—but nothing changed. The walls remained slick with moisture, the stench of decay coiling around him like a living thing.

Then, without warning, the temperature shifted.

A searing heat licked at his skin, and flickering flames burst to life, casting grotesque shadows along the tunnel's damp walls. Twisted figures danced in the firelight, their shapes writhing like tormented souls. A suffocating scent filled his lungs—bitter, acrid, and laced with something far worse. Blood? Burned flesh? His stomach churned.

He pushed forward, his legs trembling beneath him. Then he saw it—a light. A pale beacon in the distance. His heart pounded. Hope flared inside him. He broke into a run. Faster. Faster.
