The Duke’s Sole Salvation

✦ The Duke's Sole Salvation ✦ > A cursed duke. A filthy rabbit in the corner cage.> Neither of them knew what they had just bought. — Dark Fantasy Romance · Guaranteed HEA —🕊️ One love interest. No cheating. No love triangle. Alix Hardel, last heir of a cursed bloodline, walks into a back-alley demi-human broker's den on a whim. In the farthest cage he finds her — a half-starved rabbit beastman with eyes the color of cut rubies and a silence too heavy for anything still alive. He buys her with a single gold coin. He calls it a distraction. But behind her silence is a past she can't remember, and in her blood is something this world has long forgotten. On the darkest full moon, the truth surfaces — why it had to be her. This story begins in darkness. It ends, together, in the light. **Genre:** Romantic Fantasy · Dark Fantasy · Dual POV**Tropes:** Beastkin Heroine · Cursed Bloodline · Cold Duke · Possessive Devoted Hero · Trauma Recovery · Found Family · HEA ⚠️ **Content Notes:** Trafficking-market opening (heroine rescued from worse fate).
