☆ SLOW BURN • DARK ROMANCE • NO SMUT ☆
〜
They burned her kingdom to ash. Now she sleeps beneath the roof of its conqueror.

Clarice, last princess of Sahradyn, was meant to die with her family. Instead, she was spared, dragged across enemy lines and locked in a tower by the man who shattered her world.

King Caelen of Velmoras is cold, calculating, and ruthless. He offers her only one choice: become his concubine, or rot in the tower. Yet even as Clarice plots her survival, something stirs between them. A pull. A thread.

The old texts call it the soul-thread: a bond said to bind enemies as often as lovers, rare and perilous, long dismissed as myth. But Clarice feels it now, in every glance, every silence, every clash of wills with the man she should hate above all others.

As war brews on the borders and kingdoms begin to fracture, Clarice must decide whether the thread binding her to Caelen is a curse to be severed, or a weapon powerful enough to change the fate of empires.

Princess Lyra, the last flicker of her fading kingdom, carries a terrifying secret: a dormant, unbound fire in her blood-the power foretold to either save the world or burn it to ash. ​When King Aethos Volkar, the ruthless ruler of the Shadowfell Empire and master of the Void, executes his final conquest, he claims Lyra as his ultimate prize. He is the ultimate predator, shattering Veridia's defenses and seizing the power he knows he cannot extract, only bind. ​Now a captive in the desolate, obsidian heart of the Shadowfell Citadel, Lyra is given a brutal choice: refuse him, and watch her remaining people be dismantled, or accept his crown.

But now, the King of Ash seeks to ignite the world in his fury. With his deadly and forbidden plan, he seeks to claim Veloria for his own, threatening to consume the traditions and freedom of the other elemental kingdoms. To stand against him, the kingdoms send their strongest-those born of perfect lineage, trained from birth to embody their element's purest form. Known as "purebloods", their mission is to stop the King of Ash before his flame consumes all.
