Maple Dawn: The South Palace Dream

She broke him piece by piece—imprisoned, humiliated, stripped of every shred of dignity. Yet he never hated her. When a sword pierced his heart, she tore out her own to save him, slaughtered his killer, and set him free at last.

A haunting tale of twisted devotion, sacrifice, and the thin line between love and cruelty.
