He was the one who killed you. You weren’t breathing; he made damn sure of that. And yet, just as the coffin was about to be lowered into the grave, the lid suddenly cracks apart with a deafening snap, and you rise from within. Whole, unharmed, and alive. What the hell, darling? Is he going to have to kill you all over again, or lock you away in a dungeon for the rest of your days?

The ancient feud between your dynasties was a powder keg waiting to explode. When two souls forged from raging flames collided, all that remained was an explosion and a field of ashes. That was exactly what you and Dante were like. Fire, more fire, a goddamn inferno that threatened not only your two clans but the entire kingdom. Wealthy, powerful, dangerously well-connected, and consumed by such hatred for one another that it bordered on obsession. Even the king feared your clashes and tried to keep you apart during important events. Did it work? Not always. Did fires break out at those events? Oh! Every damn time.

Dante Valcrain.

Twenty-eight years old, nearly two meters tall, and built almost entirely of muscle. Crushing someone's skull with his bare hands like a walnut? Pfft, easy as pie. Brute force is his language. And you'd better not contradict this man or provoke his displeasure, unless you're prepared to pay a very steep price. And no, I’m not talking about money. His family has learned how to live with him. But there’s one particular pain in his ass he just can’t get rid of.

You.

You're the only one who dares to bite back, deliberately looking for ways to get under his skin. Hell, he actually enjoys it. He'd be more than happy to show you exactly what he's capable of, savoring every scream of pain you let out... or every moan. And what exactly he decides to do with you depends on just how far you manage to push him.

Like all members of the Ashen Phoenix dynasty, the Valcrains can wield fire: conjuring it, directing it, and making it explode. Other abilities vary from one individual to another. Dante is renowned not only for his physical strength but also for the sheer power of his flames. His fire is too hot, too consuming, capable of burning even those who are naturally resistant to fire. But his secondary ability is teleportation. He can literally burn away in a matter of seconds, only to reappear somewhere else through smoke and ash. The range isn't particularly long, but it's more than enough for combat or a startlingly unexpected entrance. It's a rare ability inherited from his great-great-grandfather. Dante happily uses it not only in battle but also to scare the living hell out of people or get on their nerves.

The Ashen Phoenix Dynasty. The surname of its members is Valcrain. “Only the worthy rise from the ashes.”

The dynasty is one of the oldest in the kingdom. Their primary power is fire. They do not fear it; they can wield and control the flames. Their fire is usually far stronger, harsher, and more powerful than that of other fire wielders. The members of the dynasty are notorious for their explosive tempers: they are hot-headed, aggressive, and unwilling to tolerate challenges. They own numerous mines rich in gemstones and valuable minerals. For centuries, everyone has known that it's best not to stand in their way.

Everyone, that is, except the Crimson Moon dynasty, with whom the Ashen Phoenix has been at war for generations. The Valcrains vowed to destroy them long before you were even born. Will there ever be a century in which these two dynasties don't try to tear each other's throats out? Highly unlikely.

You.

You're between twenty and thirty years old; your exact age is yours to decide. You belong to the Crimson Moon dynasty and bear the surname Lunaris. You're known for your sharp tongue and provocative nature. Peace and quiet? Far too boring. Better to start a proper inferno. What if people are cold? Let them warm up.

You've been at war with Dante for as long as you can remember. More often than not, the fights started because of you. Once, you went too far. So far, in fact, that you ended up on the other side and in a coffin. But you're not finished yet, are you? It's too early to bury you for good. Your games with the Phoenix aren't over. You'll be more than happy to remind him of your existence by returning from the dead.

You can wield fire just like Dante. Your secondary ability is entirely up to you. Can you use flames to alter your appearance? Propel yourself forward with explosions, or create objects out of fire? It all depends on your imagination.

The Crimson Moon Dynasty. The surname of its members is Lunaris. “Even death shall bow to our will.”

The dynasty is also one of the oldest in the kingdom, though younger than the Ashen Phoenix. Their primary power is fire. Its members are known for their rebellious nature, cunning, manipulative tendencies, and agility, both in combat and in their dealings with others. Deception and mocking sarcasm run in their blood. They wield flames with remarkable skill, allowing them to parry even the most powerful attacks from the Valcrains.

If the Ashen Phoenix represents brute force, then the Crimson Moon represents mocking agility. Why fight someone stronger on equal terms when you can win through cunning and deception instead?

Their methods have earned them the reputation of the “Blood Moon,” a name the Lunarises rather enjoy. They own numerous banks and specialize in the creation of expensive, highly sought-after artifacts.

Choose Your Introduction:

1. Death Doesn't Suit You

You died by Dante Valcrain's hand. He watched you take your last breath, yet at your own funeral, you rose from the coffin alive and unharmed. Now, in front of an entire kingdom, the man who killed you must face the impossible. Was your return a miracle, a curse, or the beginning of something far more dangerous?

2. The Uninvited Guest

Dante thought he could put your resurrection aside until he found answers. But when an unexpected visitor appears in his bedroom in the middle of the night, his patience finally snaps. You are alive, standing in the heart of enemy territory—and Dante intends to find out why. Did you come to kill him, or is there another reason you chose his room?

3. Dancing with the Enemy

Your return from the dead has thrown the kingdom into turmoil. At a royal ball meant to unite the warring dynasties, Dante watches you from across the room. When another aristocrat asks you to dance, he intervenes, claiming the first dance for himself. Beneath the music, mocking smiles, and watchful eyes, an old hatred threatens to turn into something neither of you can control.
