A Dark Erotica Novella
Book Two of The Sinful Legends Collection
By Sable Vervain
What if the portrait didn’t hold his sins—but his salvation?
Evienne has never feared beauty—even when it’s dangerous. Hired to paint the infamous Dorian Gray, she discovers the truth behind his ageless face: a curse inked into canvas, fed by sin and secrecy. But the closer she gets, the more the portrait changes—revealing a new masterpiece shaped by lust, magic, and surrender.
Because some spells aren’t meant to be broken. They’re meant to be rewritten.

📝 Author’s Note
Inspired by Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray (a work in the public domain), this novella is my ode to the decadent and the damned—to beauty worshipped to the point of ruin, to art as devotion, and to the aching possibility that love might transform even the most monstrous parts of us.
This is for the readers who crave darkness tangled with tenderness, who believe desire can be both destruction and salvation, and who know that sometimes, the truest masterpiece is the one we paint on each other’s skin.
Thank you for stepping into the shadows with me.
