His noble spirit danced on the edge of peril, and his impulsive defiance grew too wild for even the most patient hearts. Abandoned to his own devices, his path became a descent into shadow. Centuries later, war ravaged the land and the prince teetered on the brink of ruin. Desperate to reclaim his lost glory, he was forced into a dark pact-a marriage with a powerful witch, once his sworn enemy. Bound by fate and necessity, she became his reluctant bride and only hope.

Feel free to let me know of any grammar or other issues since it is still a work in progress. Don't forget to vote if you are enjoying each chapter. Ruinar is my favorite of my original characters from my book series. This story is a prequel side story about his childhood. I hope you enjoy the story.
