Kingdoms are built on blood, and ours is no different. My father wears a stolen crown, my mother wears a smile sharper than any blade, and the world believes I was born cursed. They whisper that I will not survive, that the gods marked me fragile as punishment for the throne they seized.
Yet I breathe. I endure. And in my survival, I bind the ones who should hate me most.
I am Elira Drakovar, the sickly princess who lived.

The Crown demands fragments of souls to hold back the darkness, and I am the only heir strong enough to wear it.
