"Jika kau tidak mau menjadi milikku secara sukarela, maka aku akan memastikan kau tidak punya pilihan lain, Marcus!" Rea Ardinata Alexander bukan wanita biasa. Di balik sosoknya sebagai desainer terkenal, ia adalah agen rahasia yang mematikan. Keras kepala, bar-bar, dan tak kenal takut. Satu hal yang pasti, ketika dia menginginkan sesuatu, tidak ada yang bisa menghentikannya. Dan yang dia inginkan saat ini adalah Marcus Dexa Cruz. Marcus adalah pria dingin, penuh rahasia, dan berbahaya. Seorang mafia kejam yang menyembunyikan identitasnya di balik kedok seorang CEO sukses. Dia bukan pria yang mudah didekati, apalagi dicintai. Tapi bagi Rea, semua itu bukan alasan untuk mundur. Jika Marcus tak bisa ia taklukkan dengan cara biasa, maka ia akan menggunakan cara yang lebih ekstrem. Pernikahan paksa? Perangkap? Manipulasi? Tidak ada yang tidak mungkin bagi Rea. Dia terobsesi dengan Marcus, dan dia akan memastikan pria itu menjadi miliknya, seutuhnya. Hati, jiwa, dan terutama… tubuhnya. Namun, Rea lupa satu hal—bermain dengan api bisa berbahaya. Ketika Marcus mulai berbalik mengendalikan permainan, siapakah yang sebenarnya akan terjebak? Apakah Rea akan memenangkan hati Marcus, atau justru ia yang akan kalah dalam obsesinya sendiri?

Her silky hair was a mess. Her makeup, ruined. Her dress wrinkled like she slept on it. She was there, but her mind, elsewhere. Her eyes went to me. Her lips curled into a lazy smile. In every step she gave, my heart sank thinking she would fall. “What happened to you? Are you okay?” I rushed towards her. Her face twisted with disgust. “Oh, perfect Bella. The golden girl. Always correct. Always the best.” “What…” “Perfect Bella. Has the best grades. She doesn't have to fight to get into college, colleges fight over her.” “Emma, you are drunk.” “Perfect Bella doesn't drink. She is as pure as water. Saint Bella.” Her eyes glinted. “Perfect Bella doesn't sleep with her best friend's husband.” My body froze as a wave of chill ran through my spine. “What… what are you talking about?” She leaned in, her breath thick with alcohol, “Where do you think Marcus is? Why do you think I can barely walk straight? Is it hard to believe he took me and not you to that bad that was supposed to be yours?” My heart clenched. Tears started forming in my eyes. It didn't take long till they gave up to gravity. He… he didn't. We'd promised this morning. He couldn't. “He wouldn't.” ***** It's been a year, but the scars are still there. My past echoing in my head reminding me of everything that happened since that day. Every time I open my eyes in the morning to see... nothing. “You only get hurt by the ones you love the most.” “You only get betrayed by the ones you trust the most.” What happens when these two misbeliefs collide? ***** I hope I wrote this book good enough to make you feel it. Obrigada.☺️

The Shadow Knight is a dark fantasy novel that follows the transformation of Kaelen Dawnblade, a once honourable knight whose world is shattered when the corrupt religious Council falsely accuses his family of heresy. The story begins with Kaelen serving faithfully as a Knight-Captain in the Holy Citadel of Light. His perfect life crumbles when he's summoned to the capital, where the High Council, led by Grand Inquisitor Matthias, fabricates charges of shadow cult involvement against House Dawnblade. Despite Kaelen's protests, his family is systematically destroyed. His father executed, his sister Lyanna tortured, and his young nephew Marcus killed during "questioning." After escaping imprisonment, Kaelen discovers the true nature of the Council's corruption: they've been eliminating eastern lords who questioned their increasing taxes and power. Consumed by rage and betrayal, Kaelen encounters a mysterious merchant who guides him to the Soulstone, an ancient artifact of darkness. Through brutal trials that strip away his humanity piece by piece, he transforms into the Shadow Knight, a being of darkness with extraordinary powers. As the Shadow Knight, Kaelen begins a calculated campaign of vengeance against the Council, gathering allies among the oppressed. He discovers his new abilities allow him to destroy and heal, creating an unexpected inner conflict. Throughout his journey, he struggles with what remains of his humanity, ultimately choosing to retain his sense of justice rather than becoming a mindless force of destruction. The novel explores themes of corruption, vengeance, transformation, and the thin line between justice and revenge. As Kaelen evolves from righteous knight to shadow wielding avenger, the story questions whether one can fight monsters without becoming a monster oneself.
