BENEATH THE PALE BLUE EYES
The Kingdom of Oslo, nestled in a mountain region surrounded by dense forests and towering peaks, is ruled by the ruthless and power-hungry King Magnus. Beyond the palace, in the enchanted forests of Oslo, magical creatures thrive, their existence safeguarded by a mysterious half-angel, half-human guardian named Ivar. When King Magnus attempts to exploit the forest's magical power for his own gain, Ivar fiercely protects it. Despite repeated attempts to kill Ivar, the king ultimately meets his demise at Ivar's hands.
Ivar's life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Amelia, a spirited and beautiful village girl. While Ivar's devilish charm and teasing nature initially frustrate Amelia, their encounters slowly transform into a deep and forbidden love. Their bond is tested further when Prince Caspian, the king's son and heir, meets Amelia at the grand ball and becomes infatuated with her. Caspian's advances are repeatedly rejected by Amelia, who remains loyal to Ivar.
Upon his father's death, Caspian ascends the throne and learns that Ivar, was responsible for the king's death. Consumed by vengeance and jealousy, he discovers Amelia's love for Ivar and abducts her, determined to claim her as his own. This act ignites a fierce rivalry between Ivar and Caspian, with the fate of Amelia and the kingdom hanging in the balance.
As Caspian's obsession deepens and his tyrannical rule mirrors his father's, Ivar must navigate his growing love for Amelia while protecting the magical forest from further harm. The story weaves a tale of love, power, and sacrifice, where destiny pits a guardian against a king in a battle that could reshape Oslo forever.
