"Whispers of the Forsaken"
In a sprawling empire where beauty masks betrayal and power is balanced on a blade's edge, whispers of a long-buried truth begin to stir. Rin Soryu, a brilliant but overlooked apothecary, is drawn into a chilling mystery when a noble dies under impossible circumstances—his body warm, his blood strange, and his death officially erased.
Forced into an uneasy alliance with Kael Renjou, a cold and relentless imperial investigator, Rin is pulled deeper into the empire’s hidden rot—where alchemy isn’t just science, but a weapon, and secrets are deadlier than blades. As nobles fall one by one and forbidden knowledge resurfaces, fate begins to twist around them both.
But the more they uncover, the more the line between enemy and ally begins to blur… and when every truth has a cost, some choices will demand more than either of them is ready to give.
By Chapter 15, I feel like I’ve been dragged into a beautiful storm I never want to escape from. The characters, especially Rin and Kael, have carved a place in my heart.Rin is not your typical heroine. She’s layered—quietly brilliant, haunted by her past, and full of subtle strength. Kael, on the other hand, is so much more than just the brooding male lead.His moments of inner turmoil and the slow unraveling of his connection with Rin have been handled with such care and realism that I found myself rereading entire scenes just to feel the ache again. Every chapter ends in a way that makes it impossible not to keep reading. A tension, a whisper of something dark around the corner, and I love how the story doesn’t rush anything. Highly recommend to anyone who loves deeply emotional storytelling, haunting mysteries, and unforgettable characters. Can’t wait for more.✨🤍🤍✨🎀🎀
