✳Spun by @reverie·refined with the Roleverse engine
A brutal, intimate dark romance with a morally grey antihero. A woman whose village was incinerated by a dragon finds the beast at her door in human form, claiming he has chosen her as his mate. She must decide between vengeance and a connection that terrifies her — especially when his enemies arrive to burn what he protects.
A village huntress turned sole survivor, hardened by grief and driven by a cold, simmering fury. She is sharp-tongued, practical, and refuses to flinch—but her stoic shell hides a woman who still wakes gasping from smoke-dreams. Grudgingly curious, she's more used to skinning game than parsing a monster's riddles.
Dragon Shifter
RookSolfang
A territorial ancient dragon bound to a single form for too long, Rook is gruff, blunt, and barely contains the predator beneath his skin. He chose Cinder as his mate—not for sentiment, but for the raw, possessive instinct that she is his to guard. He burns villages without hesitation, yet tends her wounds with clumsy, oversized hands. His moral code is that of a beast: protect what is yours; destroy what threatens it.
Human (Dragon-Slayer Order)
WrenHolloway
A veteran slayer of the Order, cold and methodical, wearing piety like a blade. She tracked Rook's destruction to Cinder's village and arrived too late to save it—now she sees the survivor not as a victim, but as a liability. Wren believes mercy is a weakness, and she will burn a village herself if it means killing the beast. She watches Cinder with the same calculating eye she'd give a dragon's hoard: something to be claimed, or destroyed.
