In a kingdom where ancient magic threads through the veins of every noble line, two houses stand locked in an age-long rivalry that has shaped politics, alliances, and the very balance of power. House Draven, known for its deadly mastery of dark sorcery and relentless ambition, commands both fear and respect. House Varyn, equally powerful, thrives in the shadows-silent, cunning, and feared for its unparalleled command of shadow magic. Their conflict has lasted for generations, and the realm has long accepted that hostility between these two houses is as constant as the turning of seasons.
Aurelius Draven, heir of House Draven, is a name spoken with equal parts awe and dread. At thirty years old, he has already earned a reputation as a formidable warrior-mage-one who wields dark sorcery with deadly precision and carries himself with the unshakable pride of someone born into power.
Seraphine Varyn, at twenty-eight, is the sharp edge of her house. Beautiful in a fierce, dangerous way, she is known for her cunning mind and mastery of shadow magic. she does not brag about her abilities-Her tongue is razor-sharp, her sarcasm legendary, and her independence unshakeable.
But the kingdom does not have time for petty rivalries. A mysterious and deadly rogue force begins attacking border villages-leaving ash, ruin, and fear in its wake. The attacks are unlike anything seen in recent years, powered by magic too ancient and too corrupted to belong to any known house. With the kingdom's stability at risk, the royal council has no choice but to command an alliance between Houses Draven and Varyn.
Aurelius and Seraphine are chosen to lead the defense.
Neither of them is pleased.
Forced into close contact, the two rivals struggle to hold their composure.
Together, Aurelius and Seraphine prove that power does not lie in dominance or fear, but in understanding, vulnerability, and the courage to embrace something stronger than magic: love forged in the flames of rivalry.
