Deskripsi
In a world where shadows whisper and kingdoms burn, loyalty is a blade that cuts both ways. The Solaran Empire marches to crush the defiant kingdom of Zahran, but Queen Amara refuses to kneel. Fierce, cunning, and bound by duty, she will do whatever it takes to protect her people-even if it means unleashing horrors the world has long since buried. On the other side of the battlefield, Crown Prince Valerius wages war not just for conquest, but for his father's approval. Yet as he tightens his grip on Zahran, he finds himself facing an opponent as ruthless as he is-a queen who plays the game of war like a master. And in the shadows, Kaser walks the line between man and monster. Bound to Amara by blood and loyalty, he carries secrets even he cannot fully unravel. As demons stir and old hatreds rise, he will be forced to confront the past he barely remembers... and the power that might one day consume him. Betrayal simmers, alliances crack, and the fate of empires will be decided in blood. Will they be the architects of their own salvation-or the bringers of ruin?
