Naevia Evryn now sits on the throne of the Land of Eternal Magic, the last heir of a bloodline once hunted to extinction. She has the crown, the power, and the destiny she never asked for.
But she rules with a heart grieving a loss she can't accept.
Ernest Aurelio Marquez-the warrior raised to kill her, the heir of the clan sworn to erase her name-fell in the final battle or so she believes. Their love was forbidden from the start, a betrayal to both their families, a sin that could reignite an ancient war. Yet he chose her over his oath, and she never got the chance to save him..
Now, Naevia carries the weight of a kingdom, while mourning the one soul she could never claim.
But Aurelio lives.
Scarred and hidden, he moves through the shadows of the realm, protecting the queen who cannot know he survived. His existence alone is a threat to her rule. His bloodline is the enemy of her family. His love is the danger she cannot afford.
Yet he watches over her from afar, fighting unseen enemies drawn to her growing power. He bleeds where she cannot see, guards what she cannot defend, and carries a love he has no right to feel.
As darker forces rise and ancient magic stirs, fate pulls them closer once more-
not as lovers, not as allies,
but as two souls bound by destiny and divided by the history written in their veins.
Their love is forbidden.
Their loyalty is fractured.
But their hearts have never stopped choosing each other.
And soon, the realm will learn:
some oaths break kingdoms-
others break hearts.
