THE CURSE OF POWER

In a world shaped by magic, power was never meant to belong to one side. Yet men still found ways to claim it and use it as a leash.

Bravery in a man was honor. In a woman, it was danger.

Cessalie was born into privilege, offered a life others would envy. She had a future wrapped in gold and sealed shut like a promise. But she saw it as a cage.

She refused to live a life where her voice was softened and her freedom was traded for safety. She refused to bow to men who built their power on the silence of women forgetting they were born from the same hands they tried to control.

Cessalie chose rebellion even if it meant losing everything and standing alone.

In her search for control, she found something she did not fully understand. and instead of turning away, she used it in the ways that blurred the line between need and want.

But what she reached for without thought slowly took hold of her, until she found herself standing on the same ground she had once sworn never to return to.
