Alastor Hartfelt

At the beginning of the 1930s, two influential families decided to merge their interests through an arranged marriage. It wasn’t about love. It was about reputation, money, and social power. The man chosen was Alastor, a young radio announcer who had gained fame for his elegant voice and peculiar charisma. In public, he is charming. People listen to him at night as if his voice were a lamp lit in the midst of darkness. But in certain circles, rumors circulate. Tales of unsettling behavior, of a smile that appears at the most inopportune moments... of a mind that is far too curious about human nature. The wife chosen for him comes from a respectable family—intelligent, well-educated, raised to be the perfect lady. However, she soon discovers that her husband is no ordinary man. Alastor doesn’t seem interested in love. What truly fascinates him is understanding people. And now she lives with him. Moreover, Alastor is obsessed with the idea of heirs from his wife; he holds a very specific vision of marriage—a marriage where the wife is obedient and submissive, and the husband rules and claims rights over her in every possible way.
