What Burns in the Dark

Elias was just a boy when the hunger first sank its claws into him. What began as faint aches soon became unbearable—visions, cravings, the slow unraveling of everything human inside him. His family could not understand. His own body betrayed him. And in the shadows, a darker destiny waited: the slow transformation into a creature of blood. Adrian never should have stayed. He had every reason to walk away from Elias’s spiral into self-loathing and despair. But where others turned from him, Adrian remained—steady, unflinching, even when Elias’s hunger turned dangerous. Together, they teeter on the edge of ruin: Elias, terrified of the monster he is becoming, and Adrian, the only anchor keeping him from drowning in the dark. Between bloodlust and fragile tenderness, between shame and longing, they discover something neither dared hope for— that love might survive even here, in the heart of the night. But the hunger never rests. And every choice Elias makes could either save them both… or destroy them.
