I have limitless power, it sounds good, doesn't it. It sounds like some kind of blessing. But it's a curse, not a blessing. What if I told you that this limitless power comes with unrelenting anger when it activates, that with this limitless power comes with being unable to stop yourself from killing the ones you love, that with this limitless power comes with enough pain to kill you but let's you live. Tell me, does it still sound like a blessing.
I'm cursed.
I should've died long ago, but it has no mercy, without it, many good people would still be alive, but it feeds off of it, because of it, I constantly fear for her, my love, for that she could lose her life from my own hand, and it will have influenced me to do so. It is no longer with me, but its curse will never leave me. It cursed me. Are you wondering what "it" is?
"It"...is a blade.
I am not blessed
I am cursed.
Let me tell you my story.
Forced into an engagement with a man she doesn't love, Reyna must ignore her bond with her father's general in order to avoid a war and save her throne.
*****
As the first female heir to one of the great Northern Kingdoms, Reyna panics when her claim to the throne is threatened by the discovery that her father's general is her soulbound partner. She forces herself to ignore their connection, determined to be more than a general's wife, only for her father to manipulate her into a political engagement with a man she could never love. So to forge her own path forward, keep her throne, and confront her feelings for the general who owns her heart, Reyna must find a way to refuse this arranged marriage without destroying her kingdom in the process.
