Goddess, Gatekeeper and the Dragon

"Magic, woven from the first breath of time,
Love, fathomless as the midnight abyss,
Friendship, a constellation of unwavering light,
And rivalry, the inescapable hand of destiny's twist."

Both were princesses, yet only one was known. Isabella and Stella-twins born to the mighty wizard king, Lawrence. While Stella, blessed with celestial magic, was adored and celebrated in the grand kingdom of Mythiopia, Isabella was but a whisper lost to time, a magical void abandoned in the human realm, her very existence forgotten by her people.

Yet, in the human world, as an orphan, she found a home. She found Dylan-her unwavering constant, her solace. Both remained blissfully unaware of the fate woven for them millennia ago, of the destiny that loomed ever closer. Would Isabella ever find her way back to the magical realm? And if she did, would she even wish to stay?

Calhoun, the eldest beast prince of Vandrad, yet the disgrace of the royal lineage. Born to the mighty Dragon King, yet devoid of a beast within him.

His life had been a careful dance upon a battlefield, each step a measured response to the schemes of those who sought his downfall. He had long accepted his fate, learned to survive with what little was granted to him. But what happens when fate offers him something different-when, for once, he is given the freedom to be something more than a shadow?

Will he finally understand himself, unravel the mysteries that bind him? Will he rise to his destined place in the grand design of fate? Will the beast within him awaken at last? Or will he remain forever the shunned prince, a legend written in sorrow?
