The Villain finally breaks the Hero.

Unfortunately, that was the plan.

⚬───────────────✧──────────────⚬

The Villain stood on the balcony, swirling a glass of dark wine, a conductor watching his symphony reach its crescendo. Below, in the wreckage of the square, the Hero was on his knees. He was surrounded by the debris of his failures—the people he couldn't save, the city he had sworn to protect now reduced to ash and weeping.

The Villain watched the Hero’s shoulders shake. He watched the Hero’s hands claw at the dirt until his fingernails bled. It was exquisite. It was art. Piece by glorious piece, the "Great Protector" was fracturing under the weight of the Villain’s design.

"Beautiful," the Villain whispered to the empty air. "A masterpiece of misery."

But then, the shaking stopped.

A heavy, suffocating silence swept over the square. The Hero didn't look up immediately; he stayed still, his head bowed, the air around him beginning to hum with a low, dangerous frequency. Slowly, agonizingly, the Hero turned his gaze upward.

When his eyes met the Villain’s, the Villain felt a cold spike of ice run down his spine. The light in the Hero's eyes was gone, replaced by a flat, predatory glint that looked like polished obsidian.

"I'm going to kill you for that," the Hero seethed. His voice wasn't a shout; it was a low, vibrating promise that seemed to rattle the very glass in the Villain’s hand.

The Hero stood. He didn't stumble. He didn't sway. He rose with the terrifying grace of a predator that had finally shed its skin. He looked at the Villain as if he were already a corpse.

"I’ll be the last thing you see," the Hero snarled, his voice finally cracking, rising into a ragged, desperate edge of pure hatred. "I’ll kill you! Do you hear me?! I’ll tear your world apart until there’s nothing left but you and me and a grave!"

The Villain’s hand trembled. The wine sloshed over the rim of the glass, staining his fingers. He had wanted to break the Hero’s spirit, to prove that "good" was just a fragile mask. He had succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.

But as the Hero began to walk toward the tower—slowly, deliberately, with a dark aura of absolute annihilation trailing behind him—the Villain realized his fatal mistake. He hadn't just broken a Hero. He had forged a successor.

The Villain had spent years looking for a rival, but as he looked into those cold, murderous eyes, he knew he had finally pushed too far. He hadn't just defeated his enemy; he had created his replacement. And the new Villain didn't want a game—he wanted a funeral.

Working as a veterinarian for an animal rescue shelter has given Harper a heart for abused strays. So when a mysterious, sexy man shows up at the clinic looking for someone to sew up his wounds, Harper is there to assist. The man calls himself Bishop, and he says he's on the run from a demon named Barbas who has made him its slave. It's a hard story to swallow, yet Harper can't deny that Bishop is surrounded by magic, and that his supernatural allure is impossible to resist. She's all set for a steamy one-night stand, but then Barbas makes Harper his target and things get personal. Now, she's willing to help Bishop take revenge on the demon who's destroyed their lives. And if she falls in love in the process, that's even better.

It took me 6 years to write this book. I wrote it for NaNoWriMo last year and I poured every inch of me into this story. It's a crazy ride but Lucas Crane finally gets his HEA. But I'm not ready. 😂 #BrokenScars #Standalone #Romance #brokenhero #JMWalker #SummerRelease #authorsofinstagram #LucasCrane https://www.instagram.com/p/BzVr8y3AtXM/?igshid=1enipb9cbikse
