Ephemeral [E·phem·er·al] Adjective - Lasting for a very short time | Evanescent, fading, an impermanence that suggests the inevitability of an ending.
In this world, there have always been harsh lines between different ideas, different people. Good, evil, girl, boy, new, old, truth, lies. How are we meant to cope when somebody waltzes in on the dancing feet of a princess with the gate of a prince? What is to come when good and evil both exist in their purest forms in one person?
Crowned first born child of Queen Rapunzel and King Townsend, Rya, also known as Rio, has always considered herself a bit odd. For one thing, she's not just a princess, but a prince as well. He didn't ask to be like this. It just sort of happened. While his kingdom hasn't had a hard time accepting this about him, it has had a bit of trouble as of late. Just like her parents, Rya is sent for to attend the School for Good, Enlightenment and Enchantment, alongside her brother Ely. However, unlike Ely, Rio has also been sent for by the school for Evil Edification and the Provocation of Sin. When he finds himself able to walk the line between pure good and pure evil, Rio begins to uncover new information about his past and creation that he never asked, or wanted, to learn.

A life for a life
(Rio discovers Beth faked the pregnancy and forces her to actually get pregnant by threatening to kill her if she refuses.) Beth Boland thought she understood survival, until one desperate lie changed everything. Cornered by Rio, the man who once held a gun to her head, she said the first thing that could save her life: "I'm pregnant." Rio, the man built from cold steel and quiet rage, believes her. Until grief, love, and suspicion twist the truth into something darker. When he learns Beth faked the pregnancy and the miscarriage, his heartbreak curdles into fury. He confronts her not just with violence, but with the one thing she can't outrun: her own guilt. What began as a lie for survival becomes a debt she can never repay. Rio spares her life ,but not her freedom. His mercy comes with a price. Now, Beth faces an impossible ultimatum: give him the life she lied about... or lose her own. As their worlds spiral into a dangerous dance of power, guilt, and unspoken desire, the line between punishment and possession blurs. Every moment together burns with the question neither dares to voice: Is this retribution... or something darker binding them both? One lie bought her time. Now it's demanding to be born.
