-SHEIKURA-
To the cruel, golden court of the Arnata Empire, Tei Woodvan is just a beautiful northern pawn. Emperor Shuraka-a dangerous, toxic young tyrant-wants to possess his mind and cage his spirit.
But Shuraka isn't the only one watching.
Walking in the shadows is **Ezra**. With his midnight-dark hair and a signature crimson ribbon, he is Tei's lifelong shield. Ezra sees every crack in Tei's flawless mask. The tragedy? Ezra knows he is just the safe harbor, while Tei is being pulled directly into the dangerous gravity of the Emperor.
Yet, Ezra's promise stands absolute. Without demanding a single thing in return, he will love Tei through the madness-unconditionally. Even when Tei loses control, even when he chooses another, and even if Ezra has to burn the entire empire down just to keep him safe in the ashes.
"To love Tei Woodvan was to love a storm, and Ezra was entirely prepared to drown."
