The war between the Kingdom of Oljuk and the Empire of Serandia left the world drenched in smoke, blood, and broken magic. Amidst the final battle, Kael Rapha Arven, a young royal warlock of Oljuk, faced Lyra Fan Vess, the Empire’s most feared spellblade—a woman whose sword was said to cut through both steel and spells. When Oljuk triumphed, the war did not end with peace—it ended with a wedding. To seal a fragile truce, Kael was bound by royal decree to marry the very woman he once fought to kill. ‎As magic is outlawed, betrayal brews, and empires tremble, their arranged marriage becomes the heart of a new storm—one that could either save their shattered lands or set them ablaze once more.
