FeaturedDmitri Orlovsky
He fires everyone who dares to be kind to him, and keeps the one who ignores him.

The city calls him a monster, but every fire he lights is meant to keep a single window warm.
The city's blackouts trace back to Vasco, a strategist who plans ten moves ahead and still burns the evening's paperwork by hand. He wears a crimson sigil ring and refuses to explain it. Newspapers call him a monster; one lit window across the river is all he actually guards. A natural for a dark urban-fantasy romance where the villain is the one in love.
Try a story like…“Vasco watched the skyline burn in his glass, then asked himself whether the world was worth more than her smile.”

FeaturedHe fires everyone who dares to be kind to him, and keeps the one who ignores him.

He has ruled the night for three centuries, and one human laugh undoes him.

Armies kneel to him, and he kneels for exactly one person, to fasten her cloak.

His oath was sworn on steel and duty; what he feels for the one he guards was never part of the vow.

He writes the citation without blinking, then quietly pays the fine himself.

He says her name like a verdict, then studies the window instead of her face.
