The Dark Knight's Heart  by sblack006
17 parts Ongoing Mature
In the once-great kingdom of Thelline, a noble knight named Arthur lived a life of honor and love, devoted to his beloved wife. But when a devastating betrayal leads to the brutal slaughter of his wife and the destruction of his home, Arthur's world crumbles. The perpetrators of this heinous act are none other than the royal family. Fleeing from the remnants of his shattered life, Arthur is ruthlessly hunted down and killed. Death, however, is not the end for him. Reincarnated in a new body, he is reborn with no memory of his past life-except for the haunting image of his wife's face. Unbeknownst to him, his mortal demise has awakened a dormant power: Arthur is now a half-demon, forged from the very darkness that claimed his life. But this resurrection comes at a terrible cost: Arthur's heart has been replaced by an abyssal void, fueled by his rage and sorrow. His new existence is sustained by an otherworldly energy, pulsing through his veins like liquid darkness. As he navigates this new existence, Arthur is drawn to the beautiful and enigmatic Princess Elara. From the moment she sees him, she is inexplicably drawn to the mysterious knight who now serves in her father's kingdom. But amidst the whispers of dark forces rising in Thelline, Arthur must confront the torment within his fragmented memories. Unaware of Arthur's true identity and past, Elara finds herself torn between loyalty to her family and her growing feelings for the brooding knight. As their bond deepens, Arthur begins to unravel the secrets of his past and the truth behind his wife's murder. The revelation that Elara's family betrayed and killed him threatens to destroy the fragile bond between them.

Athena has no one. Orphaned at the tender age of twelve, she doesn't want anything to do with the Color War; a decades long war being waged between the vicious King of the new world and the magic users of the past. In a realm where a person's eye color directly relates to the magic they can control, Athena's green eyes mark her as the most powerful mage to have been born in centuries - and everyone wants a piece. Jax has everyone. Prince of the new world, he has no understanding of the war that rages outside the kingdom walls. After the violent death of his childhood tutor, Jax begins to realize the world around him is slowly spinning into all out chaos - and that he doesn't want to be King if his only legacy is cruelty. Their fates are inevitably intertwined, and together, Athena and Jax will be forced to face a prophecy that could leave their country in ruin or usher it into a new era of peace.
