Intro. Two kingdoms. Two crowns. A marriage that should never have happened.
For centuries, Lyscor and Arvendall walked in silent war - a fragile truce supported by broken pacts and forgotten promises. When Reis's blood threatened to soak the borders once again, one solution arose: unite the heirs. Not for love, but for politics.
She, the future Queen of Arvendall. Forged between duty and freedom, with fire in the eyes and the throne in sight. He, the prince of Lyscor. Cold like the towers of his castle, sharp as the crown he will inherit - and determined not to bend to anyone.
An agreement sealed by alliances ... and looks that burn more than swords. But what begins as a strategy soon escapes control: between provocations, power games, and old secrets, something unexpected grows - something that threatens to collapse everything that has been built forcibly.
Because hearts do not follow treated. And when two souls designed to reign are… Someone always surrenders.
