Betrothed to the devil himself
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.
