Running through the streets of Azariel isn't exactly how I imagined my morning

This is the story of Salem Irvine, who meets prince Raphael of Amethysta, and their first encounter had them both shocked before they parted ways.

But something happens, and Salem finds herself helping the Prince although she hoped she would never have to see him again, and finds out something about herself and her home that has never been discovered by the people of Amethysta before. 

They both know they can't have each other, but end up falling anyways.

Salem Irvine is a small town village girl while Raphael Arsenio is the Prince of this kingdom.

Will this be a tragedy, or will it be a love story?

He was her dark fairytale,
She was his twisted fantasy, 
And together they made magic.
