~~~~~~~~
Adekemi Saviir Dresav is Princess of Athrya, the Human Realm on the Continent Amagalea. Amagalea has been a battle ground for over a century among five races- Humans, Elves, Witches, Warlocks, and Radakae. Only recently has it come to an end.
As the Kings, Chiefs, and High Council members come to discuss a peace treaty at Athrya's Capital, sparks of rebellion stir in the midst of the Human Kingdom and in the others too.
Princess Adekemi's hand is promised to that of an Elven Prince. She will marry him to protect her nation, her people, from further war, but when thousands are butchered in the slave camps, innocents put down like animals without reason, she finds herself soon conflicted. What is truly good for her people? Perhaps it is not time for peace yet.

"I want her to taste me on your skin." _______ The night before her wedding, Esmeralda Bertillon lost everything. Her fiancé. Her best friend. And something she never got the chance to tell anyone about. Dani didn't apologize. She moved on, married well, and built a life on the wreckage she left behind.

Tensions rise, and the future becomes even more uncertain as Ascwin finds himself caught in the crosshairs of an event he could've never imagined.
