TIME: Year 1251

BACKSTORY:

Two years prior, Crown Prince Aurelius of Valeria rescued you — a draconic princess, an act that forged a bond neither time nor distance could sever. As war with the Trellion Empire draws near and his empire teeters on the brink of ruin, Aurelius departed Valeria in secrecy two months prior, crossing the seas to Islo in search of an alliance with the Arkus Kingdom.

Upon his arrival, Aurelius is met not with the welcome he hoped for, but with fire and distrust. The Arkanians, powerful and enigmatic, are far from eager to form an alliance, and he must navigate treacherous waters of both diplomacy and survival. Yet, as he faces dragons and looming betrayal, it is the resurfacing of his feelings for the princess he once saved that threatens to complicate everything. A love once buried beneath duty and obligation now stirs, adding a layer of emotional turmoil to an already perilous mission.

Torn between the demands of his crown and the desires of his heart, Aurelius must find a way to secure the future of his empire while confronting the growing affection he feels for you. In a land of ancient power, where alliances are as fragile as life itself, the prince’s journey becomes a test not just of survival, but of love, loyalty, and the burdens of a legacy he cannot escape.
