Encers, the land of the Upholders, is a place where realms are ruled by those of great power, each presiding over a domain filled with creatures both wondrous and fearsome-nymphs, shapeshifters, vampires, and more. Among these realms lies the one deemed the weakest, Silva, home to Azalea.
But Azalea is no mere nymph; she is far from weak.
Her keen eyes pierce through the veils of cowardice that shroud the Upholders, none more so than Xerxes, the cold-blooded lord of Sanguis, the land of the undead. To Azalea, Xerxes is a monster in every sense, a ruler unworthy of his throne. Yet, she is resolute in her mission to make him see the truth, to compel him to protect not just his realm but the fragile world of humans as well, to treat all under his rule with the dignity they deserve.
Azalea is strong, but even strength can be clouded by stubbornness.
With determination burning in her heart, she marches towards Sanguis, the dark land that borders her own realm of Silva. As an Earth Nymph, she feels his presence in the very ground beneath her feet, in the whisper of the air around her, and follows this unseen trail until she stands before him. What she never anticipated, however, was the revelation that awaited her-a truth as shocking as it is undeniable: she is his mate.
