Dark Fantasy / Intimacy, Power, and Systems
Intimacy is not Safety. It is structure.
About the Series
​​A Dance With Darkness Visible is a dark fantasy romance series set in a brutal, living world where survival is governed by power, inheritance, and biological imbalance.
​
Among Men, women are not rare--they are abundant. Girls are born at far higher rates than boys, shaping societies built on containment, hierarchy, and control of lineage.
​
Beyond the Wall, among orcs (uruhks), the opposite is true.
​
Women are scarce. Reproduction is uncertain. Power, survival, and legacy, hinge on access to women--and on the brutal calculus of who is kept alive to do so.
​
Some bonds between women and uruhks feel inevitable. Others feel like a trap. Whether these connections are fate, mystical, or something far more dangerous is a question the series allows to unfold slowly--and never without cost.
​
This is a story about power that cannot be relinquished once claimed, intimacy that does not always heal, and devotion that may look monstrous from the outside--but is absolute to those inside it.
​
​
Power does not ask to be loved.
It asks to be survived.
Book I: These Twisted Fates
Love Cannot Absolve
A woman is taken beyond the Wall, where mercy is not a language and survival is negotiated in blood.
​
Bound to an orc warlord by fate, biology, and restraint, she learns that protection is not the same as safety-- and that devotion does not require absolution.
​
This is not a story about rescue.
It is about what endures when choice collapses into inevitability.
Book II: This Wounded Earth
Love Cannot Heal Ruin
She learned silence as a weapon long before she learned how to survive.
​
He is bound to her by something older than trust and far more dangerous than love-- something neither of them fully understands.
​
As war gathers and scrutiny sharpens, intimacy becomes risk, reproduction becomes politics, and every choice draws attention they cannot afford.
​
This is a story about what it costs to choose one another in a world that demands heirs, obedience, and blood
Book III: These Shattered Souls
Survival Does Not Mean Surrender
She was never meant to endure.
She endured anyway.
​
He does not repent, does not soften, does not mistake cruelty for love.
​
In a world governed by systems older than morality, they construct something that is neither gentle nor just-- but stable.
​
This is not a story about redemption.
​
It is about choosing the only structure that allows survival.
