The shadow and the crown 👑
Princess Seraphine Valeria was raised to rule, not to feel. Cold-eyed and sharp-minded, the heir of Eldoria has learned that love is a weakness and sentiment is a luxury reserved for those who do not sit near power. When her father secures a political marriage to strengthen the kingdom, she bows with grace-because obedience is strategy, and strategy is survival. But fate has always had a cruel sense of irony. Kael Draven, her sworn knight-silent, disciplined, and carved by war-has stood at her side for years. Feared by enemies, respected by kings. Bound to her by loyalty... and something far more dangerous. A foreign prince wants her hand. A kingdom demands her duty. But the only man who knows her heart is the one she cannot have. One is her future. One is her undoing. And power has never been won without sacrifice. Even ice melts. Especially when fire stands too close.
