In the kingdom of Helarion, ancient tradition dictates that royal twins are an indication of imbalance, a bad omen that is said to bring a chaos and misfortune to the Royal throne and to the land. They were quietly taken away... or worse, never allowed to live. Even now, in modern times, that belief hasn't completely disappeared. That's how it has always been, and in some ways, it still is.
The Selvig lineage was bound to the crown, with the firstborn daughter fated to marry the Prince-but fate took a cruel twist when twins were born. To protect their existence and secure their place, one child was hidden, and the world was told there was only one heir.
Astrielle Reign was born minutes after her twin sister, sealing her fate as the one kept hidden from the world, a hidden truth veiled by her family's intricate plans. But fate had a way of flipping the cards when her twin falls gravely ill, her family, desperate to protect their existence begged her to take her sister's place-just for a while, until her twin recovered.
She stepped into a world she was never meant to claim, a place where every smile hid a secret and every step could expose her truth. Bound by blood, driven by duty, and drawn by a desire she never expected, each moment blurs the line between who she is and who she must become.
She must decide whether to keep the veil that hides her true self or to tear it away and fight for the life and love she never thought possible-while uncovering the hidden forces that have been controlling both of their fates from the very beginning.

That's how it has been. For centuries. Decades. Years. When you're born, you only have two choices: you can live in Raven City where people ought to lead, revolutionize and wear suits, vest and crowns. Or you can go far away from the noise, and live in the green hills of Argus where the tribe's survival lies in their culture and in their forest. The other marches towards advancement and the riches of the world, while the other prevails in silence and preserves the fields. Diana Abella--- a daughter of a tribe chief was born in the green forests and fresh lakes of Argus. Where she ought to hunt and protect her tribe, and where she needs to live by their traditions no matter what. But she wants more. She wants to learn more than peace and leaves. She also wants to see the city lights, she wants to hold a pen, and she also wants to ride cars. Even though the world disagrees, Diana knows that it wasn't always black and white; there must be something in-between, something that already crossed that bridge between the people of Raven and the people of Argus. Something that has the same desire as hers. Or someone. It could be Antonio Dmitri, one of the biggest and powerful business tycoons of Raven, and one of the most influential person despite retreating to his very private life. But no matter how powerful and fierce Antonio is, Diana knows better. She knows he doesn't belong in Raven City. Because she knows him, he was born in the same fields she grew up in. Argus. Diana will do everything to go beyond her chains no matter what happen. By hook or by crook, she'll go to the Raven City through Antonio. Even if it means becoming his biggest enemy...and eventually, his wife. ---- All Rights Reserved. 2024 Full credits to the rightful owner of the image in the book cover.
