Long ago, the world was divided between humans, beast kin and demons. The humans were a peaceful race. Only looking to thrive and live happy lives. Some were special, some were ordinary. Most wanted tranquility, some wanted power. Humans were just that...humans. Demons were cruel to other races. Believing that they hold the most power over weak humans and unrefined beast kin. Constant war, murder, and crimes were raged under demon rule. The beast kin were not animals, but descendants of ancient spirits who carried the traits of legendary beasts within their blood. Wolf Kings ruled frozen mountains, Lion Lords commanded golden savannas, Raven Princes guarded forgotten knowledge, and Serpent Houses whispered secrets beneath the earth. For centuries, the Beast and Human Kingdoms flourished until a devastating war between beasts and demons shattered the Sacred Bond, a divine force that once connected mates destined by fate in their world. Many humans were caught in the crossfire and were killed as a result. Since then, true bonds became increasingly rare. Children were born without mates. Kingdoms fell into chaos. Ancient bloodlines weakened. Then a prophecy emerged from one buried text. "When the Veiled Queen crosses between worlds, Seven Thrones shall kneel. Seven Hearts shall awaken. And the world shall either be reborn... or burn beneath her crown." No one knew what the prophecy meant. Until she arrived. A human woman torn from her ordinary life and thrown into a world of predators, royalty, magic, and ancient grudges. She discovers she is not merely destined for one mate. She is destined for seven. Each bond awakens a fragment of a forgotten power capable of restoring the Sacred Bond itself. But claiming her mates will not be easy. Every kingdom wants to possess her. Every rival seeks to use her. And some of the men destined to love her would rather die than surrender their hearts. This is the tale of Sera Vale.

Now, with tension rising within the palace walls and the Queen beginning to see Callaia as a threat rather than a contestant, one thing becomes terrifyingly clear: The crown was never meant to choose her.
