The only way to break the curse...is to kill the one you love. Alyenna was never meant for our world. They stole her. One moment, she is surviving the life she knows on Earth. The next, she awakens in Tendaara. A world of ancient magic, living steel, and creatures that should not exist. She does not know what she is. Tendaara does. In Tendaara, magic is not a gift. It is a part of you. A part of the world itself. Here, you do not just forge blades. You forge souls. Power here does not come freely. It is earned. through training, through survival, through spite, and the will to never let go. Alyenna did not escape her keeper. She was moved. To a world where he has more power, and to where the Queen who owns them all reigns. Scelestra the Queen of Many Faces walks unseen, wearing the form of the ones you trust most. One touch is all it takes. One moment of hesitation. One question. One loss of control. The General Aethorien misses nothing. Not a moment. Not an opportunity. Not a chance to shape her into the weapon the world will need to survive him. Because in Tendaara, power always asks for something in return. The more it grows, the harder it becomes to choose who survives, and who pays the price.

In the kingdom of Edevane, people still whisper about the mysterious woman who vanished from the royal ball at midnight. To the world, she was only a beautiful stranger. To King Lucien Valmont, she became an obsession. But behind the fairytale lies something far darker. Elara Ashbourne has spent her life buried beneath cruelty, grief, and humiliation. When a horrifying truth about her father's death shatters the last fragile pieces of her innocence, she abandons mercy and steps willingly into the shadows of forbidden magic. As the lonely king tears apart the kingdom searching for the woman he believes fate promised him, Elara quietly enters the royal court with revenge hidden behind silk gloves and practiced smiles. What begins as a hunt slowly becomes something far more dangerous: a slow-burning spiral of obsession, manipulation, desire, and ruin. Because some love stories are not meant to heal. Some are meant to burn kingdoms down.🕯️🖤 GENRES- •Dark Fantasy •Gothic Romance •Psychological Drama •Tragic Romance •Royal Fantasy
