Hero Of Hearts

Genre: Dark Romantic Fantasy Kaelen Thorne has always been an outsider—a struggling mage-in-training in a quiet border village. But when his home is ravaged by a pack of werewolves, he unleashes a torrent of magic that should not exist in mortal blood. In the ruins, he finds Elira, a wounded elf whose violet eyes mark him as the heir to a forgotten dynasty. Bound to him by an ancient oath, Elira becomes both his protector and his curse. Together they journey through burning villages, cursed forests, and the shadowed courts of vampires, unraveling secrets of Kaelen’s lineage. He is the last of the Thorne bloodline, destined to decide the fate of three warring races. Yet the prophecy that hails him as savior conceals a devastating truth: the peace his ancestors forged was built not on unity, but on sacrifice. As Kaelen and Elira’s bond deepens into love, the cost of his destiny becomes clear. To end the war and save the realm, Elira must give her life. Torn between love and duty, Kaelen fights to defy fate—but Elira has already made her choice. In the ashes of war, Kaelen will be remembered not as a hero, but as the last guardian of a promise sealed in fire and blood: the Silver Oath.

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. Their love healed the kingdom… and from it came Prince Lucien, bright, noble, and pure. But fate is cruel. 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. What began as an innocent bond soon became an all-consuming love — one that defied gods, bloodlines, and fate itself. Lucien vowed to make her his queen. Lyra vowed to love him even if the stars fell from the sky. 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.

They met during their childhood. A human and a beast. She should fear the red-eyed monster but her innocence prevailed. "Can you be my puppy? Your fur is so soft" She even finds the beast that is capable to slaughter her, adorable. But unknown to them, their meeting was a threat to both of their worlds. For decades, a line has been drawn between the human and the beast realms. Territories were marked to safeguard their lineage. No one dares to violate the implicit rule until fate and a prophecy interfered with their peace. Her world was cruel to her that despite being the daughter of the Duke, she was looked down upon by the royal peerage. She becomes an outcast in her own kingdom. Without a choice, she left home. And on her journey, she entered the realm forbidden to any humans. What awaits her in the realm of terrifying monsters her world had known? Will she remember the "puppy" she wanted for a pet? What would she do if she discovered it had turned out to be a ferocious Alpha beast? And will he, too, remember her? Or the untamed desire they both felt since their meeting will just lead them to the past they both forgot? Will they just let fate direct their tale or will their hearts dictate their fate?
