The Beginning of an Era
🖤AUTHOR’S NOTE
Welcome, my dark souls...
I am really grateful that in the vast, endless sea of Inkitt stories, you somehow found your way to my corner of shadows.
This universe, these broken soulsand their unhinged, violent obsessions have lived inside my head for a long time. And Today I finally step into the dark to share this universe with you.
Now before heading towards the shadows and abyss, let me introduce myself.
Who am I?
Just a girl writing stories about broken people finding a dangerous love in a vengeful world. You can call me Misha (TheDarkRomanticist).
As a new writer stepping into this world, I am both nervous and excited. And an author’s true power comes from the readers--your support, your votes, and your comments mean the absolute world to me. So if you like the vibe of this intro please VOTE , and leave a COMMENT and share your thoughts.
Now step closer...The shadows are waiting.
🥀DEDICATION
“To the angels who never dreamed of a knight in shining armor, But prayed for a monster who would burn the world to ashes just to keep her warm.”
“To the souls who don’t ask for a fairy tale, but crave a storm--a love that burns, leaves scars and consumes everything in it’s path.”
In this realm of Dark Romance, love is rarely sweet. It can be messy, twisted, possessive and painful...But it’s always unforgettable.
“To the shadows that dance just beyond the periphery of our vision, to the secrets whispered in the dark corners of the human heart, and to the unwavering pursuit of truths that lie buried beneath layers of blood and deception.
This story is for those who understand that Justice is rarely black and white--that the lines between predator and prey can blur, and sometimes the most dangerous allure lies in the forbidden.
May you lose yourself in the labrynthine paths of desire and danger, in the intoxicating scent of risk, and in the undeniable pull of this abyss...”
Welcome to the darkness. Welcome to a generational saga where love is a fatal flaw, bloodlines are a curse, and every heart is a square on a dark chessboard.
🏛 THE HESITATION TRILOGY: GRAND PROLOGUE

🖤 AUTHOR’S NOTE: Heyy! My dark souls...This was all-- An Intro of my Dark Romance Hesitation Trilogy.
And in this Book I will write my Main core Novel- WHEN THE BULLET HESITATES and I will publish my two other books:WHEN THE KNIFE HESITATES and WHEN THE MACHETE HESITATES later on Inkitt only. All three book are interconnected and belong to the same universe of KRAKEN.
In this prologue and intro I have not revealed any names or plots (Shh...No spoilers!) and just used chess terms like The Rook, The Knight, The Bishop, Truth Seeker, Koyal.
Let me tell you that I have spent four long years to build the entire plot of this Novel series. Yes, It is complicated, puzzled but also unputdownable and full of twists and cliffhangers!
In the next chapter I will add aesthetics and reveal the main characters but till then I want your views and thoughts about this upcoming series.
(Sorry, If there are any grammatical mistakes...It’s my first time!😊)
Happy reading!🖤
Misha (TheDarkRomanticist).
