Healing the Duke of Darkness

Desperate to escape the relentless cruelty of her abusive family, Evelyn Diego resorts to an audacious deception. She poses as the divine figure foretold in an ancient prophecy, infiltrating the life of Grand Duke Devan Lantimos—a powerful nobleman afflicted by blindness and a mysterious curse. By exploiting his vulnerability, Evelyn convinces him that she possesses the sacred ability to break his affliction and restore his sight. However, her fabricated miracle quickly unravels when her supposed powers prove insufficient to heal him entirely. The situation grows far more perilous as Evelyn uncovers a startling truth: the nature of Devan’s curse is vastly different from what she initially believed. What began as a simple ruse for survival transforms into a tangled web of secrets, forcing her to confront a reality far more complex than the lie she created. Now caught between a deepening entanglement with the Grand Duke and the looming threat of her family closing in on her location, Evelyn finds herself racing against time. To secure the freedom she so desperately craves, she must navigate this dangerous deception and discover a genuine way to cure Devan before her past finally catches up to her.
