They fell into another world.
A forest where trees glowed blue.
Floating islands drifted across violet skies.
Dragons soared through shimmering clouds.
Allison stared in disbelief.
“This…”
Damien sighed.
“…is why I didn’t want you coming.”
“What is this place?”
“My home.”
He looked at her with sadness.
“The Kingdom of Astralis.”
Damien was no ordinary college student.
He was the exiled Crown Prince of Astralis.
Centuries ago…
A witch had cursed the royal bloodline.
The curse would awaken when the prince fell in love with a human.
If the love remained unbroken…
The kingdom would fall into eternal darkness.
“So that’s why you pushed everyone away,” Allison whispered.
Damien nodded.
“I thought if you hated me…”
“You’d be safe.”
Instead…
She had fallen for him anyway.

Creatures made of smoke crawled from the mountains.
They called themselves the Hollow.
Led by a terrifying queen named Nyxara.

Damien stepped forward.
Touch her and I'll destroy you".
Nyxara laughed.
Love always makes princes foolish".
The battle began.
