The Bride, the Blade, and the King
---ONC 2025---
Princess Selene has lived her life within the safe confines of her kingdom's walls, her destiny sealed by an arranged marriage to the Demon King of a neighboring realm. The union, meant to prevent war and bloodshed, is her duty-but it's one she never wished for.
Accompanied by Rael, the Demon King's cold and enigmatic royal guard, Selene embarks on a dangerous journey to the kingdom of Varethia. For the first time, she steps outside the palace's gilded shadow, her youthful optimism clashing with the harsh realities of the world beyond--where treachery, deception, and violence lurk at every turn. As they travel across wild lands and face threats both seen and unseen, Selene begins to see Rael in a new light.
Their growing connection forces her to confront an impossible choice: honor her duty to her kingdom or follow the unexpected emotions blooming in her heart. Will she take the chance to choose her own fate and risk the lives of others, or will she fulfill her duty and sacrifice her heart for the sake of peace?
