pentabulous

In the aftermath of her soulmate Daniel's brutal murder, Alawis's world is shattered. Her quest for vengeance leads her to Dark Hell, where instead of closure, she's haunted by guilt.

Fate intervenes, drawing Alawis into the realm of demonic flames and ancient secrets. There, she discovers she's the mate and Star Shatterer of Niel, a powerful Dark Star Realm demon driven by a unique catalyst: revenge.

As Alawis navigates treacherous demon politics, she holds the key to Niel's questions. But will their bond ignite a love strong enough to overcome Dark Hell's darkness, or will it shatter beneath the weight of their haunted pasts?

FRACTURED SOULS OF HELL

Niel rose from his feet, his gaze fixed on Valtor. His grey eyes had darkened, a fleeting shadow dancing within them. "Tell me, how do you want to die?"

Valtor sneered. "Try it if you ca—"

Before he could finish, Niel's fist collided with Valtor's jaw, sending him flying again. Niel's expression twisted into darkness. "You talk too much."

Enraged, Valtor launched himself at Niel like a missile. Their fists clashed, cracking the walls. They exchanged kicks, each strike creating fissures in the floor. They stepped back, momentarily parted.

Niel's voice was low and menacing. "Did you perform the forbidden spell?"

Valtor's response was a faint smile. "Take a guess."

Valtor continued, his tone dripping with arrogance. "Now I'm a Stage 1 Dark Star demon."

Niel didn't respond. Instead, he grabbed Valtor by the collar, and they vanished.

They reappeared in an empty field, scarred ground stretching out before them. Nothing else was noticeable. The two most powerful demons below Lucifer faced off, their presence causing the sky to rumble and hell to tremble.

Valtor's taunts resumed. "Do you like the way I punish? I almost broke her..." He feigned a sad expression. "If only I had time."

Niel's eyes turned black, his Dark Grey demonic flame engulfing his figure. His voice thundered. "You dare."
