Crimson Bloom

By James Lambert

In a city of predators, a butterfly is not meant to survive. But I was never meant to be a butterfly.

They call him the Wraith. Kaelen Volkov, a name whispered in fear, a man whose empire is built on the bones of his enemies. When I fled the suffocating purity of a lie, I fell into the terrifying truth of his world.
He sees the innocence I cling to as a flaw to be erased, a purity to be tainted. He promises a baptism by fire, a transformation from a fragile creature into something worthy of his dark kingdom.

He vows to be my ruin.
My protector.
My end and my beginning.

He is the shadow, and I am the fragile light he is determined to possess. But he forgets that in the darkest night, even the smallest flame can burn brightest. And I am ready to set his world on fire.
