Madeline Rose had only ever worked in her father's local blacksmith shop and occasionally helped her mother at the farm. Her skin had become tanned from the hot sun, but despite all of this, she did not complain. Even though she didn't come from a wealthy home, she was content. 



However, her life turned upside down when she stumbled upon a darkness that refused to leave her alone. 




There was him, a man cloaked in mystery and malice, a presence that sent chills down her spine. His eyes, shrouded in shadows, held a depth of darkness that seemed to swallow the light around him. 





When their paths crossed, Madeline felt a cold dread wash over her, as if she had invited a malevolent force into her world.

The Devil's Embrace

Home... where was home? Was it the royal castle she had just married into, or the home she had grown up in? She wasn't sure. She had left the castle that morning and began to miss it.

"How far from home?" she yelled to the carriage man, leaning her head out of the window.

"My queen, it is quite dangerous to bring your head out; please sit inside," the horseman cautioned.

But Madeline couldn't resist. It was her first time visiting home after the wedding, and it felt like she was traveling as a different person. She was now the queen of the country. How would the people welcome her? How would they view her? She clasped her shaking hands together. "Home," she whispered to herself. "There was no need to be scared of home."
