Part 1: He was born to be the kingdom's weapon, but she might be the first thing he's ever chosen for himself.
He's the kingdom's golden boy.
Famous. Untouchable. A sword prodigy with a perfect name and a rotten home.
She's a poor girl with dirt under her nails and a family she'd burn the world for.
Mallory Dulcee only wanted work. Jonah Kinley only wanted to be left alone. But when she's hired onto his estate, their worlds collide in the most dangerous way: late-night training, stolen moments, secret walks home, and a connection that feels like sin in a city that worships status.
And when the wrong people notice, "romance" stops being cute and starts being deadly.
Because Jonah isn't just a noble boy.
He's Royal Hand.
And falling for the wrong girl might cost them both everything.
Part 2: He promised he'd come back.
Then the King declared war.
Now Jonah Kinley is trapped behind enemy lines with a shadow team, a mission nobody is allowed to question, and a hooded monster of a commander who smiles like he enjoys pain.
Back home, Mallory is left with letters... and silence.
They write to survive: love, fear, prayers, jealousy, guilt. Every page pulls them closer, even as the world tries to tear them apart. And when Mallory becomes a target, she learns the hard way that being "Kinley's girl" isn't a compliment... it's a threat.
Meanwhile Jonah is changing. The war is changing him.
And the man pulling the strings wants Jonah to become something worse.
They can survive a kingdom at war, but can their love survive what the war turns him into?
This is just a first draft so do with that as you will.
Also, this may sound stupid but thank you to everyone who has viewed my story. I appreciate you all so much!
