The Fear of Fascination(Fantasy)

In the enchanted kingdom of Elyndor, magic is as common as the air one breathes-but not all magic is benign. Some are born with it, while others, like Selene, are cursed by it. Known for her peculiar ability to see the deepest desires and fears of those around her, Selene has spent her life avoiding the powerful gaze of the mystic realms. Her gift, or curse, has alienated her from the world, as people fear the secrets she can uncover with just a glance.

But when a mysterious and captivating stranger, Aric, arrives in Elyndor, Selene finds herself unable to look away. His presence is magnetic, almost unnatural, as though he himself is more than just a man-he's a being tied to the ancient magic that holds the kingdom together. Aric's allure is so strong, it becomes a drug, drawing Selene into a world she never knew existed, a world where the line between fascination and obsession is dangerously thin.

Haunted by strange dreams and cryptic visions, Selene learns that Aric is bound by a dark pact with the ancient sorcerers who created the kingdom's magic. He is cursed to live as both protector and prisoner, eternally tied to the heart of Elyndor. As Selene's growing obsession with him begins to twist into fear, she discovers a dangerous truth: Aric's curse can only be broken if someone willingly sacrifices their life to the magic that holds him captive-and Selene might be the only one who can do it.

The Fear of Fascination is a tale of forbidden attraction, self-sacrifice, and the harrowing consequences of letting oneself be consumed by desire. Can Selene free Aric from the chains that bind him, or will she fall victim to her own fascination, lost forever in a web of magic and madness?
