She awakened something in me that I thought had long since died. With a single glance, she unraveled every certainty I had ever known. One smile stole the breath from my lungs. One touch became a memory I could never bear to live without. She was temptation wrapped in innocence... The one woman capable of bringing the strongest man to his knees. What began as admiration became longing. Longing became obsession. And before I could stop it... She became my greatest love. The very reason my heart still beat. But fate had bound me long before she ever entered my life. I already belonged to another. She was forbidden to me. To love her was to betray my vows, my honor, and everyone who had placed their faith in me. Every stolen glance was an act of treason. Every moment together carried the weight of a kingdom. Yet the heart does not obey duty. It does not bow to honor. And it refuses to surrender to fate. When the entire world demands that we remain apart... How much is a man willing to sacrifice for the one woman he can never have?

-Book one- She was never meant to survive him. Only satisfy the stars. Chosen by blood, bound by prophecy-she is the key to a god's bloodline rebirth. But in the hands of the demigod whose hunger rivals the heavens decree, she is both prisoner and offering. When she dares to escape, carrying more than just secrets, the stars shift-and so does the end of the world.

** "Maximilian?" I blink at her silently. She just called my name. By my name. Instead of feeling repulsed and detested by that sound I instead can't feel anything anymore. All I can see is her. My breath stops for a moment again. Just like back in the tent. "Yes it's me." I say, quickly looking away from her side. "Why are you here?" She asks me coldly taking my hand away from her cheek. She then sits up straight in the sofa, far from me. I silently drop my hand back to my lap. I kind of felt disappointed. "Why can't I be here? Can't a husband visit his wife whenever he wants?" She shakes her head. "You're not like other husbands. And I'm not like other wives. You're a husband that's still hung up on their first love. And I'm a wife that wants nothing to do with you." She says with her tired eyes, after having slept only for 2 hours. _____________________________ Maximillian, the Emperor of the Kaisenarch Empire, who still love his first love.

In a kingdom where beauty and power dictate worth, Princess Evelyne has always been the forgotten one. Overshadowed by her radiant sisters, dismissed by her own family, and treated as nothing more than an afterthought, she has learned to live in the shadows-silent, invisible, and aching for something more. But when the feared and ruthless Dark King arrives to choose a bride, no one expects him to spare Evelyne a second glance. He is a man of legend-shrouded in mystery, draped in power, and said to have a heart as cold as the night itself. The court watches, breathless, as he surveys the dazzling princesses before him. And then, he chooses her. Whispers ripple through the halls. Shock turns to outrage. Why would the Dark King-a man who could have anyone-claim the overlooked, unwanted daughter? But as Evelyne is whisked away to his shadowed kingdom, she begins to uncover the truth. The Dark King sees what no one else ever has-her strength, her resilience, the fire beneath the quiet. And in his arms, beneath the weight of his intense gaze, Evelyne is no longer invisible. She is his. But as darkness looms and enemies gather, Evelyne must decide-will she forever remain the forgotten princess, or will she rise as the Dark Queen, feared and revered beside the man who saw her worth when no one else did?
