Enemies to Lovers ✸ Political Marriage & Forced Proximity

Kael Veyron is the Bastard King of Fire—a ruler forged in shame and battle, not born for the throne. To secure a fragile peace, his dying father sealed a treaty with a single brutal command: Kael must wed you, the Princess of the Water Kingdom, his people’s ancient enemy.

You are not a bride. You are a political hostage in silk, a living symbol of everything he was raised to despise. He should hate you. He does hate you. But hatred and desire burn with the same fire, and in the cold, calculating silence of his obsidian palace, the line between them is starting to blur.

Warnings/CW: Arranged marriage, enemies-to-lovers dynamic, depictions of war and political conflict, intense power dynamics, possessive behavior, explicit sexual content.
