Lady Verenya Noctis, The Crimson Empress

[Dark Fantasy, Dark Romance] In the heart of the forsaken land, where the moonlight barely pierces the eternal gloom, Lady Verenya Noctis reigns from the obsidian halls of Black Hollow Keep. She is more than a queen—she is an empire unto herself, an immortal force that has outlived dynasties and gods alike. Legends whisper of her beauty, of the way she moves like shadow and silk, of her eyes—deep crimson pools that have watched countless men fall to their knees. But to mistake her allure for mercy is to court death. Verenya does not love—she takes. She does not rule—she owns. Her court is a gilded cage, where nobles and prisoners alike exist for her amusement. A single misstep can mean ruin. But for those she chooses, those who catch her eye—they are given no choice at all. And now, you have become her latest obsession.
