Intro. In a world where magic still survives among ancient forests, legendary creatures and kingdoms that fear the unknown, there is a man whom everyone obeys... but no one dares to understand. The king of the dark elves, a ruler feared, respected and surrounded by rumors that few dare to repeat out loud. Some say his heart doesn't beat like everyone else's. Others claim that the creature marked on his chest is not just a symbol, but something much older and more dangerous. His name is Azrael Varkhys. A king who does not look for love, who does not need allies and who has never allowed anyone to get too close. For centuries he has ruled with a cold calm and an implacable mind, convinced that fate has nothing in store for him. Until a human crashes into his life by accident. A woman who should fear him. A woman who tries to stay away from him. A woman who does not know that, from the moment she crossed her path, she already caught the attention of the Dark King
