In an alternate future where you can bend the elements of either flame or sea, the two kingdoms that still stand on the Earth live across from each other in peace. Except for the royal children, who can't stand each other. At least, Ophelia, the youngest princess of the Sea Kingdom, can while her sisters can't stand the Royal Sparks, just like Blaise, the youngest prince of the Flame kingdom, is the same way. His brother Flint holds a grudge against Ophelia's sister, Rosemary because of an incident that took away his honor, igniting a burning fury of hatred, while Ophelia and Blaise end up in each other's arms, igniting a burning love that's growing constantly by the hour. But underneath all the pretty faces, batting eyes, and petty smiles, lies a lie that's ready to surface like a piece of coral at the beach.
haha, this is the longest story i've ever committed to and written, but also one of the more complex ones, so if you could stick with it that'd be great haha. It's very atla inspired, so a lot of the world is kind of built off of that, but some of the rules of the world are different. I also have way too many plot twists planned, so strap in and drink some water.
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
