SANTO
Ive lived in darkness for as long as I can remember. In this life, light is a luxury no one can afford, least of all me. A wife is a weakness and love is a liability I cant risk. But then Vasilisa was handed to me- beautiful, dutiful and so much more than I ever expected. Her light threatens to unravel the shadows Ive carefully constructed around myself. She chips away the ice, drawing me in, even as I fear what shell find beneath. How can I protect her from the dangers of this world when the greatest threat to her might be me?
VASILISA
Marrying Santo was never about love- it was about duty. Yet, from the moment I met him, I couldnt look away. Intimidating yet intelligent, distant yet magnetic, Santo is a man of contradictions. Behind his cool exterior, I see flickers of someone else, someone darker that I cant help but want to understand. Ive always dreamed of a love that could rival the fairytales, and for a moment, I thought Santo could be my ever after. But as I step deeper into his world, I realize that uncovering the man behind the mask might cost me everything.
