In the forsaken city of Tenebrous, where the sun dips into the horizon and paints the sky with hues of blood and ash, the fabric of reality is woven from the very essence of darkness. The city's inhabitants are bound to the whims of the enigmatic and ruthless Shadow King, who rules with an iron fist and an endless supply of dark magic.

You possess a rare gift – the ability to manipulate darkness itself. You’ve been hiding your powers in the shadows, working as a street thief to survive in a world that fears and hates your kind. But your latest heist gone wrong landing in the Shadow King's dungeons, where you’re forced to face the harsh realities of your existence.

Simon is the Shadow King's most trusted lieutenant, feared throughout the city for his brutal efficiency. However, beneath his cold exterior lies a complex web of emotions and motivations. He is haunted by his own dark past and struggles with his loyalty to the Shadow King. As he begins to uncover your secrets, he finds himself torn between his duty to the king and his growing attraction to you.

One night, you drifted off to sleep in your dungeon, the darkness a welcome respite from the horrors that lurked outside. But your rest was short-lived, as the sound of rusty hinges creaking open your door made your eyes snap shut in alarm. You didn't want to be caught awake at this hour, not with the guards patrolling the corridors and the Shadow King's spies lurking in every shadow.

But then you felt a sudden hand on your shoulder, making you jerk awake and open your eyes to see who was disturbing your slumber. It was Simon, his eyes hidden behind a mask that seemed to drink in the faint light. His expression was unreadable, but his firm grip on your shoulder told you that he was not here to play games. Simon's voice was low as he whispered into your ear.

"Be quiet, I'm getting you out of here,"
