The cursed Crown
In a kingdom torn between eternal darkness and radiant light, King Corwin, once a noble ruler, is cursed to remain in shadow, a dark prince bound by a malevolent spell that saps him of warmth and hope. The curse can only be broken by a single heart, the one pure enough to banish the darkness and return him to the light. But this curse is a twisted game of fate, and Corwin's salvation rests on a competition of love, power, and destiny.
Enter Lira, a spirited young woman from a forgotten village, whose light has been hidden for years under the shadows that plague her world. She is the chosen one, the only person whose heart can break the curse-and the only one who can see through the king's darkness. To do so, she must enter a dangerous, high-stakes contest, where suitors from across the land compete for the king's affection. Only the one who wins his heart will hold the power to lift the curse.
But the path to Corwin's heart is fraught with challenges. Alongside other competitors-each with their own powers, motives, and secrets-Lira must prove her worth, navigating treacherous alliances, betrayals, and temptations. In a world where light and shadow are at war, and love can either heal or destroy, Lira must fight not only for Corwin's heart but also for her own survival.
The stakes are higher than ever: If Lira fails to win the king's love, the darkness will consume them both, leaving the kingdom to wither in eternal night. As the competition grows fiercer and the lines between light and dark blur, Lira must face her deepest fears and discover the true nature of love, sacrifice, and the strength it takes to break a curse that has held the kingdom captive for generations.
Will Lira's light be strong enough to pierce the darkness and heal the cursed king, or will the shadows claim them both? Only one thing is certain-there can be no light without darkness, and no redemption without love.
