When Jacaerys Velaryon died, Queen Rhaenyra refused to let death have him. Through blood and forbidden magic, she brought her son back-but not entirely. For one hundred and seventy years, Jacaerys remained suspended between life and death, untouched by time. Until Daenyra Targaryen found him. And the moment his eyes opened, the past came alive once more.

In a world rotting from the inside, few know its cruelty better than Alatar Kane, a man even more ruthless than the age that forged him. Most know him as "The Unforgiven," a cursed man painted in the ashes of his past, or "The Beastmonger," an apex predator that cannot be killed, reasoned with, or corrupted. All society sees is something that is more beast than man. Few know the eternal struggle he faces to keep that beast in check, not only for their sake, but for his own, and eventually, for her sake. Idris can't remember who she lost, or the blood-soaked night that shattered her life, but the nightmare remains the same: a mask with no face behind it, a power that belonged to someone else, and her destiny held in clawed hands. Her own life has never truly been her own. Pushed around by corrupt elites and toyed with by the forces of darkness, she finally gets a chance to reclaim her life after an encounter with Alatar. However when the corrupt authorities of the kingdom of Desle find and arrest Alatar, the task of protection falls into the hands of the dragonhearted protector of Desle, Kai, a moral man forced into oath under an immoral crown. His hands were already tied, but in his task of protection, Kai finds that Desle has ties running much deeper and darker than he could imagine. The destinies of Alatar and Idris were intertwined long ago, and not entirely by choice. When a plot to resurrect primordial darkness from Alatar's own bloodline is set in motion, these two broken souls must meet again to stop it, and to fix themselves. However, with dark forces manipulating every move they make, their only hope may lie in the very thing Alatar keeps under chains. The beast must be caged to save himself...but must be unleashed to save them all.

ISHIKA SHARMA's life LITTRALLY turned upside down when she met with an accident and transmigrated into a NOVEL..... A MAFIA NOVEL ! As heroine?....No As villainess?....no Then?...As an evil side character Yeah...SIDE CHARACTER . I know right! Getting crushed by a truck was bad enough. Waking up as the petty, venomous female side character in a dark mafia romance novel is insulting. Bad news: she is going to be killed by the hero. Good news: she knows the whole story.every character and their secrets. Let's see if she can change the story and save herself or if she will meet a tragic end. ♥️♥️♥️
