Captive in the Abyss: The Lizard King’s Frail Human Offering
READING AGE 18+
Evelina is a world-class artifact restorer—a woman gifted with a face that could topple civilizations and a heart as gentle as the first snowfall. To fulfill her mentor’s dying wish, she leads an expedition into the sss’s most treacherous "K-12" Exclusion Zone, searching for a lost Mayan dynasty.But the jungle doesn't give up its secrets easily. A calculated betrayal sends her plummeting into a fathomless subterranean void.When she wakes, she isn't in a golden temple. She is in a nightmare.Silas. He is the ultimate predator of the deep—the Sovereign of the Abyss. With the chillingly handsome face of a man carved from ice, but the powerful, armored tail and lethal claws of a prehistoric lizard, he has ruled his kingdom of gold and shadows in silence... until now.The moment Silas opens his golden vertical pupils, he sees her: a fragile, porcelain-skinned creature shivering in a torn white dress. In his world of cold blood and damp stone, Evelina is a radiant, golden heat source. Her beauty, her scent, and her warmth strike a chord deep within his primal genes.He doesn't want to eat her. He wants to own her.Trapped in Silas’s "Brood-Nest"—a cavern filled with ancient treasures and sticky secretions—Evelina becomes the personal "heat source" for the cold-blooded lord. He loathes the sun, yet he is addicted to the warmth of her neck. He is cruel and damp, yet he clumsily uses his razor-sharp claws to wipe away her tears.As surface rescue teams approach and Silas’s "Mating Season" begins, the boundary between captor and captive blurs into a feverish madness."Evelina, you are the fire, and I am the abyss," Silas rasps, his massive, spiked tail coiling possessively around her waist. "Fire cannot leave the abyss... unless it burns out in my arms."Can a gentle human soul tame a beast who only knows how to plunder? In the lightless depths where nature’s laws are broken, will their bond lead to ultimate destruction, or an eternal, forbidden symbiosis?

The heavy chamber doors slammed shut, severing the echoes of the banquet’s chaos and Mordred’s desperate accusations. Inside the royal bedchamber, the flickering blue nether-fires cast long, jagged shadows against the walls, and the air was thick with the copper tang of blood and the musky, suffocating heat of a cold-blooded predator in heat.
