38 parts Ongoing MatureIn the heart of Toronto, Alessia Morgan Blake lives quietly between duty and dreams.
Her days smell of old paper and coffee in her little bookshop. Her nights belong to her dying father.....the only family she has left. Her world is fragile, yet full of love. A devoted boyfriend. A future that finally seems kind.
But under the wrong sky, fate listens. One wish upon a falling star tears her from her world and hurls her into another....a realm where kingdoms rise on blood and oaths rot in silence. Here, the moon is colder, the air heavier, and the throne belongs to one man:
King Alaric Draxen Vortigern
The ruthless ruler of Valemorra.....the Land of the Fallen Oath. A monarch forged in chaos and cruelty. Feared by his enemies, worshipped by his people, hated by the gods themselves.
When Alessia appears in his throne room, lost, trembling, wearing clothes no one in his world has ever seen, she becomes his fascination.
His curse.
His obsession.
The king who never wanted a queen finds himself consumed by a girl from another world..... a girl whose defiance lights the fire he thought long dead. But his desire is not gentle. It's possession. And his love is not salvation. It's captivity.
She was light.
He was ruin.
And fate decided they would meet. To Alaric, love is not a word....it's a weapon. And Alessia is the battlefield. To him, she is not a guest.
Not a stranger.
Not even a prisoner.
She is his..... to break, to worship, to keep. And if time dares to take her back, he will destroy it itself.
Trapped between two eras, Alessia must choose: the world she left behind or the one that refuses to let her go.
Because once the King claims something... he never returns it.
