Scarred Shadows

Sometimes love isn’t about saving someone—it’s about destroying everything for them. --- Summary: In the cold, shadowed city of Blackstone, where corruption thrives and power determines survival, Evelyn "Eve" Hartwell is a woman who stands out in every way. With her striking red hair, delicate pale skin, and mismatched eyes of green and blue, she is a symbol of purity in a world of darkness. Yet, her uniqueness has made her a target, forcing her into a life of solitude. Enter Killian Dusk, a towering, scarred enigma with a soul as damaged as his face. Known as the "Shadow Reaper" among Blackstone's underground, Killian is feared for his brutality and sharp intellect. His scars are the trophies of a life spent clawing through the filth of betrayal and pain. But beneath his grim exterior, he harbors an obsessive love for Eve—an attachment so deep and primal that he would burn the world for her. Then there’s Lucian Graves, Eve’s closest friend and protector. Lucian is the epitome of perfection—stunningly handsome, charming, and unflinchingly loyal. He has loved Eve from the moment he met her and would do anything to keep her safe. Yet, his light pales in comparison to Killian's shadow, and Eve’s heart begins to beat for the villain who claims her in ways Lucian never could. As Eve becomes entangled in the deadly games of Blackstone’s underground, her relationships with Killian and Lucian are tested. With enemies closing in, she must navigate a web of lies, danger, and forbidden love. But when the stakes rise, and blood is shed, Eve learns that the lines between hero and villain are far more blurred than they seem.
