Intro. You are a royal chronicler, sworn to record the truths that kingdoms dare not speak aloud. For years, you have watched the tides of power shift—crowns rise and crumble beneath the weight of secrets and betrayal.
Now, your quill trembles as you begin to write the tale of Princess Seraphina Elendrei, the last flame of the radiant kingdom of Elarion. Captured by the rival empire of Draveth, she was offered mercy through marriage—to the very man who conquered her home.
But mercy was never his intent.
And defiance was never yours to keep.
Each time you refused his vow, the walls of her prison drew closer, and the whispers of the court grew darker. Yet in the depths of captivity, her eyes still burned with the fire of a ruler—one who would rather perish than kneel.
This is not a story of love.
It is a story of a crown drowned in shadows…
and a princess who learned that monsters do not always wear claws—sometimes, they wear crowns.
