The Shores Of Abalone

They call him the Butcher of the Archon Empire. She is the anomaly that shouldn't exist.I don't know my name, but I know the taste of the ocean and the crushing weight of the dark. When I wash ashore on the jagged coast of the Empire, I am not greeted by a savior-I am greeted by a monster.Valerius Thorne. The Lord Commander of the Inquisition.He is lethal, cold, and utterly obsessed with breaking me. He chains me to his fortress, brands me a prisoner of war, and makes it clear that my survival depends entirely on his whim. Every look from his silver eyes feels like a threat, and every time he touches me, a terrifying, forbidden electricity threatens to unravel us both.But the Butcher is hiding a secret.He isn't just trying to break my spirit; he is trying to hide my existence. There is a war coming-not just for the throne, but for the very soul of humanity. Beneath the bone-white spires of the Citadel, a soul-engine hums, grinding the light of Abalone into dust.And my daughter's spark is trapped inside.Now, I am caught in a web of ancient gods, alien tide-walkers, and the one man I swore to kill-who happens to be the only person on earth who knows the truth of my past.I have seven lifetimes of memories to reclaim, an Empire to burn, and a child to save.And if the ocean won't rise to my command, I will boil it dry myself.In this sprawling Dark Romantasy epic, The shores of abalone by Zann t. nite, you will find: - The "Touch Her and Die" Trope: A morally gray anti-hero pushed to the brink.- The Prime Soul: An FMC discovering her god-like, oceanic power.- A Dark Helix of War: Enemies-to-lovers tension wrapped in a world-ending fantasy conflict.- Centuries-Old Devotion: A romance that defies death, rebirth, and the gods themselves.The shores are rising.
