Dark Fire

<p>Ever had one of those moments when you realize you're in over your head-and still can't turn away? Welcome to my life. I thought I knew what I was doing sneaking through shadows in a city that breathes secrets. A reckless streak they called it. Curiosity will get you killed I heard more than once. But I never listened. Then I met him. Lucian: a dark-eyed enigma with a penchant for making cryptic warnings sound like invitations. He pulled me into a world where every choice has a price and every ally hides a blade. I thought I was here to survive to keep my family safe to scrape by in a world where alliances are fleeting and enemies lie in wait. But now? Now I'm not sure if I'm surviving or becoming something-someone-I don't recognize. He says I'm bound to him. He says there's no turning back. I say he doesn't know me... yet. But even I can't ignore the truth that's been creeping closer with every step. This isn't just survival. It's a game of power danger and deceit-and the stakes are my soul. So here I am daring fate defying death and trying to figure out if Lucian is my salvation or my damnation. Either way I'm not running. Because sometimes when the fire calls you have no choice but to walk into the dark.</p>
