Long ago, a goddess died with grief in her chest and darkness in her heart. The wound she left behind never truly healed.
Over centuries, many had to face this wound to prove their worth, and claim the empire as their own.
Prince Aeris Vireya has spent his life surviving through charm, performance, and carefully crafted distance. When he is summoned to Emporia, the empire's glittering capital, he expects politics and another gilded cage.
He does not expect Eadric Serazhan.
Cold. Controlled. Untouchable.
A crowned-prince carrying the weight of expectations, and something far older buried beneath his skin.
Forced into uneasy companionship, the two are drawn across kingdoms, forgotten ruins, and dangerous territory, toward a darkness neither fully understands.
But the closer they grow, the more the world around them begins to fracture.
Because while some loves are powerful enough to heal a wound, others are destined to reopen it.
