When Elia's sister is accused of witchcraft, she risks everything to save her, drawing the attention of the town’s corrupt council. But her defiance ignites more than suspicion—it awakens buried secrets about her family’s past, and a forbidden love with Thorne, son marked for the noose.
As executions rise and old lies resurface, Elia and Thorne are forced to choose between survival and sacrifice. With time running out, and the gallows rising, their love becomes both a sanctuary and a rebellion.
But in a place where justice is scripted and truth is dangerous, how far will they go to protect each other?
This story carries a rather dark tone, which I really like. Your pacing is tight and intense when needed. The characters’ personalities are sharply portrayed through their actions and dialogue. I’m genuinely curious to see what happens next—what fate awaits Elia, and how her relationship with Thorne will unfold.
