Shadow Beauty

In the kingdom of Lunaris, where magic and royalty intertwine, a forbidden love affair between Prince Louis and the powerful witch Ayanna sets off a chain reaction of tragic events. Their secret night together, fueled by passion and desire, results in the prince's untimely death, leaving Ayanna to face the wrath of the king. Consumed by grief and anger, King Darius orders Ayanna's capture and prosecution, citing the ancient law that forbids royal blood from mingling with witchcraft. As Ayanna awaits her execution, she discovers she's pregnant with the prince's child, a revelation that only adds to her torment. Despite her pleas for mercy, Ayanna's sentence is delayed until after she gives birth, a decision that sets in motion a series of dark and sinister events. As her pregnancy progresses, Ayanna's powers begin to wane, and she realizes she was pregnant with twins and her daughters will be more powerful than her. In a desperate bid for survival, Ayanna uses her last ounce of magic to escape her prison cell and gives birth to her daughters, Alhambra And Almandra, in secret. But their freedom is short-lived, as Ayanna is captured once more and executed, leaving Alhambra And Almandra to face an uncertain future. Unbeknownst to the king, his actions have set in motion a chain of events that will shape the destiny of Lunaris and the fate of his own rule. The forbidden children, Alhambra and Almandra, born of witchcraft and royal blood, will grow up with a legacy of darkness and a thirst for justice, threatening to upend the very foundations of the kingdom.
