When college student Celine Marlowe finds a piece of a shattered unicorn horn in the forest, she doesn't expect it to contain ancient magic connecting her to its owner Soren, the exiled prince of the Velkeros. With Soren's magic trapped inside her and the remaining pieces of his horn still scattered around the world, Celine is pulled into a centuries-old conflict between a corrupt scientific empire called the Argent Accord, and the once mythical beings they exploit. The Accord wants Velkeros blood for immortality, Soren wants to reclaim what they stole from him, and Celine just wants to make it out alive.

In the quiet town of Eldermere, life is simple for Lyric, a quirky and fiercely independent painter nearly finished with college, who dreams of opening her own studio where she can teach art to children and share her work with the world. By day, she works among the dusty shelves of a historical bookstore, and on weekends she spends her time with Vira, whose bold, impulsive energy perfectly offsets Lyric's quiet and careful nature. After surviving a harrowing abusive relationship that ended in a murder attempt, she is wary of men, trusts few, and guards her heart closely, having sworn off romance entirely. Then Valentine steps into her life. Elegant, enigmatic, and unsettlingly poise, he carries an old-world charm that feels both intoxicating and wrong. Beneath his polished exterior lies a darkness older than Eldermere itself: a vampire burdened by the ghost of a woman he lost seventy years ago, one who looks exactly like Lyric. As Valentine draws near, Lyric's carefully ordered world shifts between fascination and caution. She allows a wary friendship to develop, intrigued by his presence but unsure what to trust. Haunted by his past, Valentine cannot resist unraveling the mystery of this living reflection of the wife he lost seventy years ago. Lyric cannot deny the magnetic pull he exerts over her. He's unlike any man she has met, elusive and arcane, and part of her senses a dangerous truth lurking beneath his perfection.

Julian Valemont was born untouchable - golden hair, amber eyes, and a cruel smile sharpened by a life of privilege. The heir to Valemont's throne, raised in silk and worship, he believed the world existed to entertain him. But betrayal rips everything away. Cast out of the castle and left for dead, Julian stumbles into the reality he's always ignored: starving children sold for bread, nobles feasting while their people rot, priests blessing corruption with holy words, and gangs carving kingdoms from blood. For the first time, his beauty makes him prey, and his arrogance nearly kills him. In that darkness, he meets those who will change him - a man who offers compassion where the world offers none, another who meets his fire with fire, and the shadows of his own cruelty reflected back at him. There is love. There is rivalry. There is tragedy. And there is blood on every hand, including his own. Rivals turn to allies. Hate burns into something else. And Julian must decide: cling to the crown he was born for, or carve out a kingdom of shadows, where power is survival, and love always comes at a price. "He was born for a crown of gold. He chose a kingdom of shadows" Hi guys, I already completed most of the story in my drafts, so you're in here for a ride. Enjoy !
