The Hidden Masquerade: Shadows of Fire

About The Hidden Masquerade: Shadows of Fire

In the neon-lit underbelly of Nova Cascadia, where corporate chains tighten and drones patrol the skies, one secret gathering offers a fleeting taste of freedom. The Masquerade of Shadows—a forbidden carnival of masks and desire—beckons the lost and the bold. Elara Vey, a brilliant cybersecurity specialist trapped in a corporate chokehold, comes seeking release. What she finds is Venn, a Fringe-born artist whose commanding presence and sensual dominance awaken a hunger she’s never dared to indulge.

Their connection—ignited in anonymity and sealed in raw intimacy—pulls them into a dangerous game of rebellion. When they steal the Crescent Cache, a vault of classified data tied to a revolution, they become fugitives hunted by the Host, a shadowy figure unleashing a brutal purge.

As Elara and Venn race through the Fringe’s gritty alleys and neon-soaked rooftops, they forge a bond of trust, surrender, and passion that challenges everything they knew about power. Alongside allies like Rhea, a sharp-tongued hacker with a cybernetic twist, and Silas, a subversive muralist hiding revolution in plain sight, they ignite a blackout that could dismantle a regime—or destroy them all.

The Hidden Masquerade: Shadows of Fire is a pulse-pounding fusion of dystopian sci-fi and erotic romance—where rebellion is seductive, love is defiant, and freedom comes at the highest cost. Perfect for fans of steamy, high-stakes stories with dominant heroes, fearless heroines, and dangerous desires that burn through the dark.

Author Bio:
L. E. Blackwood writes stories that slip between shadows, where obsession meets vulnerability, and love is never safe. Blending dark romance with emotional depth, her work explores the edges of power, intimacy, and transformation. When she’s not writing morally complex characters who fall too hard and too fast, she’s likely haunting used bookstores, sipping black coffee at midnight, or dreaming up her next fictional torment.

L. E. lives somewhere between the pages of a half-finished manuscript and a playlist full of melancholic piano. She believes in slow burns, sharp banter, and the kind of endings that leave you breathless.
