She is the crown princess destined for a throne. He is the general's son destined for a war. And between them lies a vow whispered under a willow tree when they were children- a vow neither of them is meant to keep.

Desire demands everything else. In a world where loyalty is law and love is treason, how long can a whispered promise survive?

The war is won, but the crown is heavier than ever. Queen Élodie and King Lucien defeated their mother and ended the brutal civil war, choosing to rule together as the first co-sovereigns in Viremont's history. But the fragile Dual Monarchy is built on the ruins of trust and the grave of their older brother, Julien, leaving the Factions of the court poised to strike. The capital sees two rulers as two weaknesses. Their precarious reign is shattered when a sinister, ancient symbol-the coiled Thorn Circle-appears in the palace, marking them for destruction. The conspiracy is not aiming for a simple regicide; they seek the Forbidden Artifact, a dark, ironwood box hidden by their mother, which holds the power of life and death itself. As Élodie scrambles to maintain diplomacy and unmask the traitors operating within the highest ranks of the court, Lucien is consumed by the Artifact's chaotic allure and the desire for absolute power. The siblings soon learn the terrifying truth: the Thorn Circle is the return of the vanquished De Fleur lineage, and they require the sacrifice of one Durel twin to resurrect their own ancient King. Trapped between a political coup, the betrayal of their closest allies, and the escalating power of the magical Artifact, Élodie and Lucien must confront the ultimate question: Can a shared throne survive when its very existence demands the death of one twin?

In which Dean and Sam meet the Devil who may care and his little sister who may not be his little sister, everyone has a fake alias and bleeds too much, Claire is not amused and Matt should probably admit that this time, he is actually way over his head. More or less in that order. Might work a STANDALONE, even though technically it's part of Damned If I Do verse. Set after Damned If I Do, somewhere before Christmas maybe? Before the trial, that's for sure. It's actually not important, you'll see why. Season 5 for Supernatural - not particularly important either. I don't think profound Supernatural knowledge is required.
