THE SILENT KING AND THE SCHOLAR QUEEN
14 parts Ongoing A FATEFUL DEAL. A FOUR-STORY MONSTER. EIGHT IMPOSSIBLE ACTS OF LOVE.
Xena is the ultimate warrior and an elite scholar-a genius who uses her mind as fiercely as her sword. When her father is kidnapped by a ruthless official, she tracks the trail to a remote, high-tech bunker on a magical island.
Her enemy is colossal: a four-story Ogre, his skin like obsidian, his green hair flowing like moss, and his fiery blue eyes holding the rage of a king. He is a creature consumed by a dark curse: the Eight Gemstone Diamond Ring, a visible measure of his century of greed and cowardice.
Trapped, Xena strikes a deadly bargain: she will be his "guide" to redemption. She must teach the Ogre selfless love, one impossible gemstone at a time, to break the curse before time runs out.
As Xena works to decipher the final magical equation, she discovers the magnificent, vulnerable man-a brilliant scholar and king-beneath the monstrous scales. But the stakes skyrocket when her jealous rival, Gaston, launches a final, desperate attack to steal their fortune and destroy the monster forever.
To save Xena, their home, and the love she has awakened, the Ogre must pay the ultimate price.
Can a silent King and his Scholar Queen defeat a monstrous past and a jealous enemy? Or will his final act of sacrifice leave their epic love unfinished?
