Prince Kion of the Pridelands has always been abused by his father king Simba while his older sister and future queen princess Kiara gets all the attention and love from their father. What happens when Kion decides enough is enough?

In a fragile alliance forged by ancient bloodlines, two kingdoms stand on the brink of unity - and collapse. Kion, the Lion Guard's exiled leader, returns to the Tree of Life for a ceremonial marriage meant to bring peace. But beneath vows and tradition lies a buried history: a love once bloomed and broken, and a truth neither pride dares speak aloud. Rani, the proud Queen-to-be, must choose between duty and the lion who still owns her heart. As the Roar weakens and a charismatic rogue named Vaelor stirs unrest from the shadows, secrets ignite that could unravel everything. Love will be tested. Loyalties will break. And in the ashes of old legacies, a new roar is rising.

After a tragic misunderstanding tears them apart, Kion is lost to the world, presumed dead. Years later, he returns under a new name, scarred, stronger, and hiding from his past... until fate leads him back to the Tree of Life-and to Rani. Enemies rise from the haze, love rekindles in silence, and long-buried truths threaten to change everything. He was never supposed to return. She never stopped waiting. Can love heal what history tried to destroy?

Kion, leader of the Lion Guard, was always hopeful that the war he grew up in would end. His dreams came true, but not without a price. He got bit by a venomous snake named Ushari during the final battle. The venom would cause him to turn evil if left untreated, just like his great uncle Scar. He would have to journey to the Tree of Life to heal it, but also for another reason. He had just found out he was betrothed to a lioness from that faraway land that he had never met. Wallowing in sorrow and self-pity, Kion wonders what the future will hold for him in this lioness. Will it be sorrowful? Filled with hate? Those were some of the many things he wondered fearfully. That is, until a spark ignites between them... (Plotline made by @CheetahpawTheFastest) (Co-written with @Eghguy115)
