Draga & the Savage

Aaron

I have defied my Goddess.

Luminita ordered me to stay, and I...left.

I had no choice. Vlad Dracul III has outplayed us at every turn, and he will rip all of Romania apart to find her. He must be stopped. My only option was to seek an alliance with a sworn enemy-Sultan Mehmed II of Turkey. Even now, with the full might of the Ottoman Empire at my back, I am still failing her. We are losing. I fear that by the time I capture Vlad, Luminita will have no love left in her heart for me, especially after all this war has cost us.

Luminita

One time.

Aaron gave me one opportunity to conquer the demons, to prove Vlad did not break me entirely, to reclaim the pieces the monster stole. When I could not, Aaron left on a mad mission. Finally confessing my love, commanding him to stay, even begging, did not sway him. He is set on his course to destroy Vlad Dracul, no matter the cost. Seeking aid from Sultan Mehmed and Radu was not enough. Aaron has joined his army. If I do not find some way to turn the tide, my nightmares will come to fruition, and Aaron's long life will end by Vlad's cruel hand.

This is the 4th installment in a supernatural historical fiction novella series that explores a tragic love story leading to villainy.
