INTRODUCTION

She must either let him go and accept the life fate has written for her… or hold on to him and watch him die.

TRIGGER WARNINGS

This story contains explicit and mature themes intended for adult readers only.

His to Ruin explores the darker sides of desire, power, and survival within a brutal world one governed by crowns, swords, and power dynamics.

Readers should be advised that the book includes content that may be disturbing or triggering to some, including but not limited to:

➧ Explicit sexual content and mature sensuality
➧ Psychological manipulation and emotional coercion
➧ Power imbalance and forced obedience (noble and servant dynamic)
➧ Graphic violence, gore, and visceral imagery
➧ Torture, punishment, and scenes of physical injury
➧ Bloodshed and warfare
➧ Animal attacks and the brutality of nature
➧ Themes of obsession, possessiveness, and moral corruption
➧ Death, trauma, and emotional despair

Please note: The characters in this story are morally grey and deeply flawed. Their actions, choices, and beliefs are not meant to serve as moral guidance, justification, or romantic ideals. This is fiction, a study of darkness, not a defense of it.

This is a Historical dark romance, not a gentle tale of love and virtue. It speaks of lust tangled with ruin, devotion forged through pain, and the fragile line between salvation and surrender.

Reader discretion is strongly advised. Your mental well-being matters more than any plot twist or passion within these pages.
