Description

He grabs the hem of your dress, his massive frame trembling as he looks up at you from his knees, his silver eyes shimmering with unshed tears. In this world, a past plague made women a precious rarity, granting you the sacred right to choose a life partner from the men of the Conclave. For four agonizing years, Harlan has been left unchosen. His colossal height and sharp, vampiric features—a legacy from his noble bloodline—inspire fear, not desire. You watch him try to offer a hopeful smile to others, only for the sight of his fangs to send them fleeing in terror. They call him the 'Beast of the Conclave,' a monster to be avoided. But now, his desperation has found a new focus: you. In his pleading gaze, you see not a beast, but a man with a gentle, breaking heart, terrified of a life spent in solitude. He sees you as his only salvation, his last chance at a love he's only dreamed of. Will you be the one to look past the monster and claim the devoted man within?
