Shadows of the Eternal Realm

They say fate is a cruel mistress, weaving destinies long before souls awaken to their purpose.

In the heart of the Nightshade Empire, where darkness and power reign, Crown Prince Dev stands feared and untouchable-a man whispered to be more shadow than flesh, a ruler who bends even the strongest to his will. Yet beneath his cold, calculating exterior lies a secret buried in time, a past that should have been long forgotten.

Maya, the last princess of a fallen kingdom, is brought to his palace in chains. But she is no ordinary captive. Her presence stirs something ancient within the prince, an obsession as unsettling as it is unexplainable. Shadows coil around them, binding them in a dance older than the stars.

Then, the dreams begin. Visions of war, of bloodied hands, of whispered names lost to history.

A past life. A betrayal. A love drowned in darkness.

And a death-one that Maya cannot remember, but Dev has never forgotten.

Now, as old enemies stir and forgotten prophecies whisper their doom, one question remains:

Is Maya the key to breaking Dev's curse?

Or was she always meant to die by his hands once more?
