Of Ashes and Dreams

In a world divided by the kingdoms of Arlaia, Itania, and Taraei, political intrigue and dark magic weave a complex tapestry of power, betrayal, and unyielding desire. Irida, a once-innocent princess of Itania, finds herself thrust into a perilous game of survival after the brutal destruction of her kingdom-a devastation she believes was orchestrated by the ruthless Acheronios Hadoron, the illegitimate son of the king of Arlaia.

Now a reluctant pawn in a marriage alliance, Irida must navigate her fear and resentment toward the man who shattered her world. Acheronios, burdened by the weight of his own violent past and dark powers from a distant realm, is driven by a relentless ambition to solidify his place on the throne. Yet beneath his calculated exterior lies a vulnerability, as he grapples with the consequences of his actions and the unexpected bond he shares with Irida.

As Irida searches for her missing sister amid the ruins of her homeland, she becomes increasingly aware of the web of deception surrounding her. With the loyal maid Anaiya as her only confidante, Irida battles her conflicting emotions and the dangerous secrets that threaten to consume her. Meanwhile, the looming specter of war between the kingdoms casts a dark shadow over their lives.

Caught between loyalty and revenge, Irida must confront her own hidden powers while facing the enigmatic Acheronios, who is determined to win her trust-and perhaps her heart-despite the chaos that envelops them. As the kingdoms teeter on the brink of destruction, can Irida and Acheronios forge a fragile alliance, or will their pasts tear them apart?
