In the aftermath of a brutal war, Princess Thalassa finds herself entangled in the claws of a formidable adversary-the ruthless Hound King, Xerxes. Held captive alongside her brother, the price for the freedom of their people is an unanticipated bargain: a reluctant marriage.

As the sovereign of a shadowed kingdom, King Xerxes is known for his iron will and unforgiving rule. Yet, beneath the veneer of cruelty lies a past shrouded in mystery and a heart that may yet be swayed. Thalassa, a princess forged in the crucible of conflict, must navigate the treacherous waters of royal intrigue and find the humanity within the Hound King.

United by an alliance that masks deeper motives, Thalassa and Xerxes embark on a journey where loyalty is tested, secrets are unveiled, and a love story unfolds against the backdrop of a fragile peace. As the bonds of matrimony weave their magic, Thalassa's warrior spirit clashes with Xerxes' regal dominance, creating a tapestry of passion and conflict.

"HOUND" is a tale of an unlikely union that transcends the scars of war, exploring the dynamics of power, love, and redemption. Will the Hound King and Princess Thalassa succumb to the weight of duty, or will their hearts defy the constraints of their roles, forging a love that stands the test of time? Dive into the kingdom of shadows, where love emerges from the ashes of war, and the Hound King's heart reveals the echoes of a forgotten melody.
