No decision can be absolute, or at least that is what I used to think. After serving in the Cymerian High Counsel as a military legislator and hoping my half-blooded heritage would impact the continent of Cymel and bring freedom to Tritausen, I grew weary in my work the more the conservative majority wished to oust me out. I almost let my duty go. But then someone came and told me all half-blooded Tritausen would be killed. And it was never the same since.

Of Kingdoms and Vows
For a hundred years, the Southern Kingdom has been at war. Its salvation comes not through the sword, but through a child. Princess Novalyn, the long-awaited heir, prophesied to end the bloodshed. Raised under the watchful eye of her mother and the council, Novalyn's life has been shaped by duty, diplomacy, and the constant reminder that her future is not her own. When her betrothal is sealed to Prince Ruan of the North, the fragile peace between their fractured kingdoms rests upon their union. Ruan arrives cold and unreadable, a prince forged in ice and discipline. To the court, he is a stranger; to Novalyn, he is both ally and a mystery. Yet beneath the formality lies a dangerous truth. Their marriage is as much about survival as it is about politics. As whispers of betrayal grow louder and old rivalries resurface, Novalyn begins to realize she is not merely a bride to be given away, she is a queen in the making. To step into her power, she must first decide...will she submit to the role others have written for her, or will she risk everything for the possibility of love, loyalty, and her own voice? Treachery brews in the shadows. A kingdom balances on the edge of ruin, and in the midst of it all, two hearts collide in a bond that could either heal centuries of division or shatter them forever. In this sweeping tale of duty and desire, betrayal and hope, love becomes the most dangerous weapon of all.

An arranged marriage. A deal struck between a new King and Queen. Lies and acts to prove their reign to power hungry nobles. And a gravitational pull towards one another that neither can nor want to stop. Alessia: I left everything behind. My home, my brothers, and the boy I loved who was going to take me away from my father's control. However, all that changed the second my father shipped me off to France to marry their new and young King Darian. It's clear he carries the wait of his family on his shoulders. I know our marriage is a sham to appease his court and I am nothing but a pawn always being shifted around my father's game. But what my father doesn't realize is that he made a Queen in his deal. And I'll be damned if I fall for a king who may never love me back. Darian: I wanted nothing to do with this arranged marriage. But from the moment I saw her everything changed. In exchange for promising to never send her home at her request I got her to agree to playing the part of the happy married couple to appease the nobles trying to take my family's power. However, once I start falling for my beautiful and strange wife who can wield a bow better than anyone I know and never fails to surprise me I know things are about to get a lot more complicated. And I'm starting to regret ever making this a fake marriage in the first place.Complete

"The Queen, The Mortal, and The Crown"
(Love was never meant to be clean. But it was always meant to be hers.) 🌑 Lyra Race: Vampire Status: Political bride-to-be, Kael's fiancée Position: Chosen future Queen of the Vampire City Personality: Guarded, elegant, and emotionally detached. Lyra was raised in tradition and trained to be a queen - not a woman with dreams. Her heart was locked away, believing love was dangerous and distracting. She followed orders, masked pain, and refused to trust anyone - especially herself. Belief: "Love is a weakness. Loyalty is duty." Appearance: Always regal, her dark hair pinned high, her crimson velvet gowns heavy with expectation. A queen in training, not a girl in love. 🌊 Ratnesh Race: Unknown (Mortal on surface - more beneath) Status: Stranger, outsider, no title Position: A quiet, flirtatious boy in the mortal world Personality: Mysterious but warm. Ratnesh didn't chase power - he kept to himself, painting on rooftops and blending into the mortal world. Underneath the teasing smile and soft eyes was someone who had seen far too much and still chose kindness. He didn't speak of his past. He wasn't supposed to matter. Belief: "I've learned not to ask. But I never stop watching." Appearance: Messy dark hair, soft hoodies, bare feet on balconies, eyes like deep waters. Not flashy - unforgettable. 🩸 Kael Race: Vampire Status: Crown prince Position: Heir to the Vampire Throne Personality: Commanding, obedient to tradition, and emotionally frozen. Kael believed his destiny mattered more than his heart. Though he admired Lyra, he never truly knew her. He wanted power, unity, and loyalty - even if it meant sacrificing her emotions or his own. Belief: "We don't get to choose. We protect the crown, not love." Appearance: Perfectly styled white-blond hair, polished black suits, a royal signet always on his finger. Cold posture, colder hands.Complete
