Aveline Blackwood

At the center of the opulent masquerade ball, beneath the flickering chandeliers and the murmur of masked guests, she glided like a shadow. Her dark gown and mask hiding both beauty and secrets. Tonight, the air was thick with mystery. She remained a silent observer, waiting. What others didn't know was that she wasn't here just for pleasure - tonight, a long-forgotten promise was about to be fulfilled, and with it, a dangerous game of seduction and power would begin.
