In Valloria, five powerful royal families govern kingdoms defined by the virtues that run in their bloodlines. Each house-Valoraen, Citrivale, Rhalorath, Begonia, and Sylvethra-has held its dominion for centuries, maintaining the fragile balance between good and evil. Every forty years, however, a mystical ritual called *The Convergence* resets this balance, choosing new rulers to unite the realm. 

For Princess Evelyn Gatlin of Sylvethra, this ritual is her one chance to escape the suffocating expectations of her mother. The weight of her mother's unrelenting whiplash has made her heart ache for freedom. As the Convergence nears, she dares to dream that it will take her far away from the toxic grip of home, offering a chance for something new. 

But when the moment arrives, Evelyn fears she may never have had a true chance to choose at all. 

And then, there's *him*. A man she never expected, bound to a different kingdom. As the two become entangled in a web of court politics, secrets, and desires, Evelyn finds herself drawn to a man who might be her greatest obstacle-or the one person who can truly understand her. Evelyn fears opening her heart, knowing it could mean losing everything she holds dear.

As her world changes in ways she never anticipated, Evelyn is forced to confront her deepest fears-not just about power and duty, but about love and vulnerability. In a land where survival requires strength, can she dare to let her guard down and embrace her heart's desires? And in the end, will she choose peace over power, or will the heart she's tried so hard to protect lead her to a destiny she never expected?

*Veins of Valloria* is a fantasy romance about the courage to choose love over fear, and to build a life not defined by destiny-but by the heart's quiet rebellion.

I've been looking at it since I cannot hold eye contact. When he smirked just now, I felt myself tremble. "There's a corpse of my creation at my feet Serena. What makes you think I'm devout to religion?" That explains his willingness to sin. "You're a virtuous woman for keeping to your vows, but I am by no means a virtuous man." His intent to court me is not pure. It's certainly from his heart, but his cause is not only for my love. There's something that he must prove to me now...

"You're making a mistake. Please tell me where it is and I'll leave you alone. You want to be left alone, right? Wouldn't you rather tell me where it is other than me reporting you to the guards and getting you executed? It would be much easier on you." She rambled, her soft voice leaking with desperation once again. And as she spoke, I couldn't help but feel more shocked. Was she begging me? Seriously? This was our queen? Isn't she supposed to be in charge here, why on earth is she pleading to me? And what's with the sweet tone? "I don't want to hurt you," she said with actual concern etched on her face. "But I will if I have to; I will if you don't say anything in five seconds." "Do it then," I challenged, "Or are you too scared to touch me?" ・・・ When Valoria becomes the queen of Elarys, she's left with a mountain of responsibilities. Her father kept behind loads of work and secrets she did not know of before he passed. She was oblivious to everything-- the kingdom, the people, everything. And while Valoria attempted to solve the many issues, Sarayah stayed hidden in the shadows. She stole for a living-- trying to survive in that cruel world. She didn't believe in depending on others or having faith in that wretched place. She stayed alive on her own and made the best of her circumstances. Problems build, leaving Sarayah and Valoria to collide. On their journey, they will have to work together and gain each other's trust. Feelings get in the way and what will happen if that becomes their undoing?
