Description:
Everyone sees the bruises on Isara’s skin and assumes the worst. They don’t know the truth—that she’s ill, not abused. And they certainly don’t understand the quiet, fierce love between her and Alarion Ossandor, the man they fear most.In a world ruled by appearances, their love survives in the shadows.
Notes:
This is a short, light novella I wrote a while back. I just felt like posting it now — no big reason, just one of those moments. It’s a quiet little story, but it’s special to me and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I once enjoyed writing it. Thanks for stopping by! 💜 Originally posted on AO3, I’m sharing it here to reach more readers.

The house was silent save for the soft footsteps of his wife, unaware of the world he guarded her from. He had hidden the truth not to deceive, but to shield. The bruises on her skin were not marks of his violence but cruel reminders of her own fragility. He watched the town whisper, misjudge, condemn. And he bore it all silently. Because some love, his love for Isara, was forged in shadows, surviving despite incomplete truths.
