Two kingdoms. One war. One truth that could destroy them all.A thousand years ago, two species ruled the known world.The vampires of Ravencrest and the werewolves of Eldoria fought a war so brutal, so total, that neither side survived it. They tore each other apart over centuries until both kingdoms were nothing but ash and legend. What they left behind, humans inherited. The castles, the land, the borders — and the hatred.Neither kingdom ever forgot where the lines were drawn.Ravencrest and Eldoria have been at war in one form or another ever since. Different rulers, different generations, same blood feud passed down like a family name. Nobody alive remembers exactly how it started. Nobody needs to. It's simply the way things are.When Eldoria's princess is taken captive during a raid, she arrives in Ravencrest in chains, treated not as royalty but as a criminal of war. A bargaining chip. A message.Then the Crown Prince of Ravencrest does something nobody expects.He sets her free. And weds her.She hates him. She goes along with it anyway, quietly, because a position beside the prince is better than a cell, and a wife with access is more dangerous than a prisoner without it. She'll learn the kingdom from the inside. She'll find its weaknesses. She'll finish what the war started.What she doesn't tell him is what runs in her blood. Half werewolf, hidden since birth, a secret her kingdom buried to protect her.What he doesn't know is what runs in his.Two people on opposite sides of an ancient war, carrying the blood of enemies in their veins without knowing it, slowly and against every instinct falling in love with each other.The world won't allow it.They'll fight it anyway.She was his enemy. He was her only escape.

The world didn’t end all at once.Then one night, everything changed.Now, surrounded by strangers he barely knows, David moves through a collapsing world searching for the only person he refuses to give up on:His mother.But the deeper they go, the more it begins to feel like the outbreak was never the real problem.
