book 1

"She was never theirs to hate. But now, she's everything we need."

> They gave her pain
She gave them love

Eumelia - the second-born twin the most loved royal family - was born into blame

Blamed for her family's death.
Treated as a murderer or a curse.

Abused. Beaten. Shunned.

Until one night, at just 8 years old, she ran away in silence.

But even through the pain,
She always loved them. Always.

She never stopped thinking the best for them - even when their deaths gave her nothing but the worst from the village.

Now, at 16, she's back - unknowingly stepping into the same school her lost family members control from the shadows and attends.

What they don't know:
The girl they thought was murdered...
Is the same girl that ends up being the reason why their heartbeats when she's near.

She is beautiful inside and out.
Soft-spoken. Kind. Gentle.

The very love they rejected...is now their obsession.

Especially Lucretia, her true mother - who would tear apart the world just to have her close again.

They don't deserve her.
But they can't breathe without her.

The Royal Vein -
A story of cruelty, innocence, obsession, and a girl who bloomed with love even when she was buried in hate.
