A love story where all three individuals share deep emotional connections, making it hard to decide who belongs with whom. In the bustling city of Ethemaris, where science and magic coexist, three brilliant and alluring doctors find themselves entangled in a web of passion, betrayal, and supernatural destiny. Amid healing mortal wounds, they discover wounds of the heart run deeper-especially when fate, ambition, and love collide.
Chapter 1 The healers and their secrets
The halls of St. Astralis Hospital pulsed with a strange, luminous energy. Medicine and magic coexisted here, blending seamlessly in the hands of the most gifted doctors the city of Ethemaris had ever known. Among them stood three figures, each remarkable in their own way-bound by talent, fate, and a love that would soon turn into a storm.
Dr. Lucian Vale ā The Cursed Savior
Lucian Vale moved through the corridors like a ghost, his long, dark coat trailing behind him. His presence alone commanded silence, though it was his hands that inspired awe and fear in equal measure. He could restart a failing heart with a single touch, pull a soul from the brink of death-but at a cost. Every life he saved with his forbidden gift brought him closer to the abyss, his body marked by unseen scars of power drawn from realms beyond human comprehension.
His raven-black hair, often tousled from sleepless nights in the operating room, framed a face carved from shadows and sharp angles. His eyes-cold silver in the dim hospital lights-hid the grief of a past betrayal, the weight of a love lost but never forgotten. He had once given his heart away, only to have it taken and crushed beneath ambition. And yet, despite himself, his gaze always found her.
Dr. Selene Caelum ā The Alchemist of Life
Selene Caelum was the kind of woman who left a lingering presence even after she was gone. Her beauty was ethereal, almost otherworldly, her silver hair cascading like moonlight down her back, a stark contrast to the deep cerulean of her eyes. She carried herself with grace, her white coat embroidered with golden sigils-runes of healing that enhanced her already formidable abilities.
A master of both traditional medicine and ancient alchemy, Selene could heal wounds that no other surgeon dared to touch. Her hands moved with precision, her whispers weaving enchantments into sutures and potions alike. Patients adored her, colleagues respected her, and yet... she was trapped in a prison of her own making.
Love had never been something she could afford. Not when ambition clawed at her, not when the burden of expectation pressed on her shoulders. She had chosen power over passion once-and it had cost her Lucian. But now, as he walked these halls once more, she wasn't sure if she had made the right choice.
Especially when Rafael was still by her side.
Dr. Rafael Duskbane ā The Golden Healer with a Dark Secret
Where Lucian was a storm, and Selene was the moon, Rafael was fire-warm, consuming, and dangerous if left unchecked. His golden eyes carried a light that could outshine the darkest of nights, his smile a weapon he wielded as easily as a scalpel. Charisma dripped from him like honey, effortless and intoxicating.
But beneath his charm, there was something else-a hunger, a need, a secret. His abilities were unlike any other doctor's in Ethemaris. He could siphon pain, draw suffering into himself, leaving his patients miraculously healed. But no one knew what that meant for him, what it did to his soul. No one except Selene.
He had loved her from the moment he met her, and he had fought to keep her. He had won against Lucian once-but was it ever truly a victory if the heart in his hands still beat for another?
Now, with Lucian's return, the foundations of his world trembled. He could feel the shift, the unspoken tension, the pull of something dangerous beneath the surface. He wasn't just a man in love. He was a man ready to fight for it.
