Elle devoted ten years of her life to loving Lucas Smith, the man who became the center of her world. Through every sacrifice, every quiet hope, she waited for him to finally turn toward her with the love she craved. But Lucas remained cold, distant-her devotion met with silence.
Now, as their love slips further from her grasp, Elle must face the truth: some hearts can't be changed, no matter how fiercely they are held. And when the time comes to let go, she chooses not tears or fury, but a quiet farewell-on a sunny afternoon, with the wind at her back, walking away for good.
In a kingdom where loyalty and duty dictate fate, a young warrior is torn between the love she swore to protect and the one she was never meant to fall for. As war brews and betrayal whispers in the halls, she is forced to make an impossible choice-one that will shatter the bonds of childhood, redefine the meaning of love, and lead to a tragic end where neither hero nor villain truly exists.
