RONAN OF THE NORTH

A love forbidden. A kingdom betrayed. A dragon unchained.

Ronan was once a proud knight of the Northern Kingdom-loyal to the crown, sworn to protect his people, and bound by honor. But that was before the betrayal. Before the mark. Before he was exiled with nothing but a sword, a scarred heart, and a dragon in chains tattooed on his neck as a warning to all.

He should have died.
Instead, he was saved-by Aeris, the second princess of a rival kingdom, a healer sworn to mend life, not take it. She was everything he wasn't: soft where he was steel, light where he was shadow. Their love was never meant to exist... yet it became the only thing that did.

Now, as kingdoms prepare for war and old loyalties crumble, Ronan walks toward the battlefield not to protect-but to destroy. With his enemies gathered and his heart fractured, only one question remains:

will he burn the word to keep her or would he lose her to keep what is left of his soul
