Dark Canvas: Love, Betrayal, and Political Intrigue in a Steampunk Empire
In the enthralling sequel to A Little Poison, step into the shadowy world of Haskilde as the Fractured Empire saga continues in Dark Canvas. The duchy stands on the precipice of change, and within its intricate web of alliances, secrets, and power plays, two souls are drawn together against a backdrop of turmoil and treachery.

Magnus, a struggling portrait painter, is unexpectedly called back to his childhood home, now overshadowed by a legacy of manipulation and political scheming orchestrated by his uncle, Lord Berendt. This reluctant return unveils a transformed land, and Magnus soon crosses paths with Hildegard, the widow of his late cousin Steinar. Both outsiders in this realm of political manoeuvring, they find solace in one another's company.

When tragedy strikes, Haskilde plunges into chaos, enabling the neighbouring realm of Lauchenland to seize control under the ruthless rule of Commissar Maxine Jeschke. Caught in a web of power struggles, Magnus becomes a pawn between his uncle and the oppressive regime, realizing that trust is a scarce commodity in this ruthless game.
With no one else to turn to, Magnus and Hildegard find refuge in each other, developing an unlikely bond. Magnus makes a morally compromising decision, drawing the ire and scorn of his former friends who've chosen to resist the invading forces.

As the walls of repression close in around them, Magnus begins to understand the true cost of his choices.

"Dive into a world of love, betrayal, and the enduring struggle for freedom in Dark Canvas, where alliances crumble, loyalties shift, and the fine line between right and wrong blurs. This gripping tale will leave you breathless and questioning the sacrifices one must make for love and survival."
