TAINTED By [Sa'Bree Jasper] A royal baby, born under suspicion and shame, was sentenced to death by the King himself. His crime? Being the child of a Queen accused of betrayal. But the blade never fell. Instead, a loyal guard defied his oath and smuggled the infant into the human world, hiding him beyond the reach of magic and memory. Nineteen years passed. The boy-Alexander-grew up unaware of who he truly was, or what fate had once been written for him in blood. The guard never returned. But someone else did. A girl cloaked in secrets and duty has come to lead Alexander back-not just to his forgotten kingdom, but into a legacy he never asked for and a war he never saw coming. He was meant to die. Instead... he's the key to everything. UPDATED 2025
