A Curse Written In Gold

In the radiant kingdom of Orthelion, devoted to the goddess Themis, Arabella lives trapped in a life that feels hauntingly familiar. Fragments of impossible memories - blood, chains, war, and a cruel king - plague her dreams, while the constant sense of an approaching catastrophe lingers over her future.
When her closest friend, Princess Elvira, is promised in marriage to the king of Eldrakar in order to prevent an imminent war, Arabella realizes with horror that history is about to repeat itself. Because she knows that name. She knows that king. And she knows exactly what fate awaits those who fall into his hands.
Guided by a mysterious book seemingly written by a forgotten version of herself, Arabella begins searching for Syranthis, an ancient dragon tied to lost prophecies and truths the world has long tried to bury. But every clue leads her deeper into dangerous shadows... and toward someone she should have never crossed paths with.
Kael, one of Eldrakan's best commander.
Brilliant, enigmatic, and dangerously captivating, Kael hides secrets behind his arrogant smile - secrets that seem deeply connected to Arabella's fragmented memories. She wants to hate him. He is one of the very people who embody the power she has always feared and despised. And yet, every time their eyes meet, something inside her falters, as though a part of her soul already knows him.
As tensions between kingdoms rise, ancient creatures begin to stir once more, and the gods remain silent, Arabella must decide who she can truly trust: the brother who keeps hiding the truth from her, the prophecies left behind by her past self... or Kael, the man who may hold the key to both her salvation and her ruin.
Because destiny never forgets.
Some souls are doomed to find each other across lifetimes, caught between love and destruction.
And sometimes, the salvation of the world lies in the hands of the very monster meant to destroy it.
