After my granddaughter is bullied by her classmates, the bully's family not only refuses to apologize but behaves arrogantly as well. Since they have connections in the city, the school doesn't dare intervene. I turn to the police, but they only urge me to let it go. The bully's family even boasted that they have people in the court, daring me to sue them. With every path to justice cut off, I have no choice but to take out the two Medals of Honor left behind after my son and daughter-in-law died in service, and kneel at the gates of the military compound. Six years ago, when the general personally delivered those medals to our home, he'd said, "Your son and daughter-in-law gave their lives for the country. They are heroes, martyrs, and the pride of our nation." But now, I want to ask him again. Why is it that when a martyr's daughter is bullied, no one protects her?

Two kingdoms. One destiny. Zero patience. Princess Ariel of Eldoria has never been the kind to obey rules. Bold, sharp-tongued, and proudly untamed, she swears no prince—especially not Carl, the infuriating heir of Valoria—will ever control her. Prince Carl, on the other hand, has everything he could ever want: charm, power, and a reputation for breaking hearts. But when duty demands he marry the fiery princess of Eldoria, he discovers one thing he’s never had before—a challenge. What begins as a battle of wills soon sparks into something neither of them expected: stolen glances, restless hearts, and a dangerous chemistry that threatens to burn down every wall they’ve built. Can love bloom between two stubborn royals when kingdoms, families, and pride are all on the line? Or will Ariel and Carl’s rivalry tear apart the fragile peace their marriage was meant to secure?

SAVAGE JAXSON They know my name. They know how dangerous I am. And soon everyone will. I am the King of Assassins. I was born into darkness. Growing in the dungeons of the Grier Citadel. Feeding on the rats to survive. And from that I learned you consume what's necessary to live. Then one day my father, King Ocnomad, paid an assassin to drown me in the river. To hide the king's great secret...Me. He couldn't let anyone find out what I really am. A secret to be kept at all costs... Even from me. Unfortunate for him, that a group of demons crossed Grier that day. I was raised amongst demons. But I escaped that slavery and came across a woman that generated light like I'd never seen. And I decided I would possess that light. One way or another. She was a wraith in the docks until I found her. She thinks she'll never wholly turn herself over to me. She can't admit she already has. I've had Dimurah since the moment she put her hand in mine.
