A young woman searching for love finds herself trapped in a nightmare of obsession, bloodlines, and betrayal. After a lifetime of loneliness and longing, Elara finally meets someone who seems to see her completely-Maden, enigmatic, magnetic, and too perfect to be real. Their whirlwind romance awakens something in her she's never known: a sense of belonging. But when she begins to notice the cracks-missing people, lies that don't line up, and an eerie familiarity in Maden's family-Elara uncovers a horrifying truth: He's not just hiding something. They all are. Now ensnared in the rituals of a blood-bound family with secrets carved in flesh and passed down through generations, Elara must unravel the twisted legacy she's stumbled into. Chained by love, hunted by madness, and haunted by a truth that cuts deeper than any knife, she faces an impossible choice: Join them. Or escape them. Or burn it all down. Love and Darkness is a visceral, psychological descent into gothic obsession-a tale where passion becomes possession and love may be the most dangerous thing of all.
