Prelude

The kingdom crumbles under the Shadow Lord's reign, a puppet master pulling strings from the darkness. Prince Sebastian, ambitious and ruthless, is a key player in this tyranny, though not the ultimate power behind the throne. Into this chaos strides Justin, the Obsidian Queen, leading a demonic army not in conquest, but in a calculated rebellion against the Shadow Lord's oppressive rule. Her victory is a strategic masterpiece, revealing the extent of the corruption and forcing a desperate surrender. Yet, this triumph unveils a profound secret: Justin is Amara's long-lost love, her quest driven by a desire for justice and reunion as much as the overthrow of the Shadow Lord. Five years later, their wedding is a symbol of hope, uniting a fractured kingdom and bridging the chasm between humans and demons. The birth of their twin daughters, Jane and June, each inheriting their mothers' unique strengths-Amara's diplomatic prowess and Justin's formidable magic-ushers in an era of shared rule and unprecedented prosperity. Sebastian's role, however, remains a complex enigma, his allegiances shifting and his motivations unclear, adding a layer of suspense to this tale of resilience, redemption, and the enduring power of love in the face of overwhelming adversity. The true extent of his involvement in the Shadow Lord's machinations, and his ultimate fate, remains a pivotal mystery yet to unfold.
