Veils Of Rivalry

Yaroslav “Viktorovich” Demidov: 25, of Russian descent, the second heir of the Demidov Family. Stoic, disciplined-well too much, perfectionist, hot headed and uptight. Hides vulnerability within that hard exterior of his. The only one in his family who has no magic because of an incident that happened when he was 4 years of age. Soul-bonded to Lian and actually holds the rarest and most powerful but dangerous power of all. Lian MAteo Alonzo-Kensington: 20, Filipino-British American, from the nurturing but competitive Kensington Family. Confident, expressive, sometimes impulsive kind of vulgar but well disciplined not in an uptight way. Has magical abilities, the rare dual type ability holders, ice and wind. His warmth clashes with Yaroslav and is soul-bonded with him therefore can also wield the other rarest and most powerful magic. Can two opposing hearts on ice bound by a soul-bond survive the weight of legacy, pressures of the competition and the dangerous pull of love and desire, when the bond that they believed to be a curse demands that one must lose his life for the other to live? For even every clash of skates, every stolen glances across the rink, every searing touch and mind-numbing kiss when they met in secret seems to burn the ice ablaze as the hatred blurs into hunger that draws them closer to a collision that could destroy or bind them for eternity. “Fuck Kensington, then I’ll risk everything, suffer everything….for one thing that matters…..You.” -Yaroslav Demidov

Alexandra mène une existence scindée en deux mondes que tout oppose. À l’université, elle a goûté à la lumière avec Marie, une passion solaire, tendre et libératrice qui lui a ouvert les portes d’une vie choisie. Mais le retour au pays sonne l’heure des comptes. Dans cette société conservatrice où les silences sont des lois, Alexandra retrouve Claudine, son amie d’enfance, son miroir sombre, celle avec qui elle a scellé un pacte charnel bien avant de connaître le sens du mot "trahison". Claudine n’est plus la jeune fille d’autrefois. Devenue une psychologue à l’intuition chirurgicale, elle lit dans les hésitations d’Alexandra comme dans un livre ouvert. Elle sent l'odeur d'une autre sur sa peau, elle devine les secrets cachés derrière ses sourires forcés. Pour Claudine, l’amour n’est pas un partage, c’est une conquête. Elle n’accepte pas la défaite. Prise au piège de sa propre culpabilité, Alexandra s'enfonce dans un double jeu dangereux. Elle tente d'apaiser la bête en se soumettant aux désirs de Claudine, acceptant de s'isoler avec elle dans un chalet loin du monde. Là, entre les murs de bois, Claudine déploie son arsenal : une domination psychologique impitoyable mêlée à une exploration érotique sophistiquée, utilisant des matériaux sexuels pour marquer le corps d'Alexandra et effacer, par le plaisir et la force, le souvenir de Marie. C’est un huis clos étouffant où chaque étreinte est un champ de bataille. Alexandra pourra-t-elle feindre la loyauté assez longtemps pour s'échapper ? Ou finira-t-elle par se perdre définitivement dans l’emprise exotique et toxique d’une femme qui connaît ses zones d’ombre mieux qu’elle-même ? Entre la douceur d'un avenir possible et l'addiction d'un passé qui refuse de mourir, le choix d'Alexandra pourrait bien la briser.
