Love built a kingdom. Love destroyed it. And love… might yet bring it back. Long ago, Queen Daphne and King Zerach ruled the Highland of Songhai with hearts bound by passion and destiny. But when tragedy stole the queen from his arms, the mighty king’s heart turned to stone — until Freda, a gentle soul with eyes like sunrise, taught him to feel again.

For in another corner of the land lived Lyra, a beautiful, fearless girl whose laughter could tame storms — and whose blood carried the same mark as the prince’s. When Lucien met her in the forest, time itself stood still. Their souls recognized each other before their lips ever spoke.

Yet destiny had written another story — a story of a secret birth, a forbidden prophecy, and a love so powerful it threatened to tear the world apart. When truth came, it shattered everything: the king’s peace, the queen’s heart, and the lovers’ dreams. But even as kingdoms burned and tears fell like rain… Lucien and Lyra chose love — even in death. And in the silence after sorrow, the Highland of Songhai bloomed again — the winds whispering their names, Lucien and Lyra… the love that defied eternity.

I was born looking like the monsters my people feared. Pale skin. Silver hair. Features that made strangers recoil and my own family look at me with shame. In a world where humans and vampires have spent centuries locked in a fragile coexistence, resembling the enemy was enough to make me an outcast. So when our King demanded a bride for the Vampire Crown Prince to preserve the peace between our kingdoms, no one objected when I was chosen. I was never meant to return. Determined to despise the monsters who had stolen everything from me, I entered the Vampire Kingdom expecting bloodshed and cruelty.

Because peace was never the goal. I wasn’t sent to the Vampire Kingdom to become a bride. I was sent there to become a pawn. And I was the truth both kingdoms were willing to kill for.
