Love comes in many forms.
Speaking about it, imagining it, and melting at the mere prospect of it can leave you giddy with its richness.
But defining it, expressing or experiencing it - that's a different game.
Elijah - the heir to the throne of Yandestine - is about to play the game, with no knowledge of the rules or boundaries.
A game that involves the clashing of naked bodies, the shadows of truth and tears constantly dancing and delving in blood; a beautiful bridge between lust and love.
A game that cunningly turns into a battle between gory promises of justice and the painful quivers of breaking hearts, much too quickly.
No one will come out the same.
Not even you.

In a palace where beauty is judged by skin and worth is decided by blood, silence becomes survival. Vidya Gupta was never meant to belong there. Eighteen years old, dark-skinned, quiet, and invisible to the world, she was the daughter of a royal advisor who dreamed not of crowns, but of freedom, knowledge, and a life beyond the palace walls.
