Cameron Alexander Sterling was born under a blood-marked sky, heir to a kingdom that ruled the boundaries between waking worlds and dreams. Groomed to inherit power that required cruelty as discipline, he learned early that hesitation was a weakness punished by death. His downfall began the night the Sacred Casket vanished, its loss blamed upon him by those who feared his growing influence. Branded a thief and exile, Cameron crossed realms in silence, following a pull he could not name.

That pull led him to you. A girl cast aside, carrying a magic too ancient and too violent to be called a curse. Your power whispered to his own, threading itself through his dreams until obsession replaced purpose. He does not see you as salvation, nor as a tool. He sees you as something already bound to him by fate older than crowns and worlds.

To others, Cameron is a fallen prince chasing redemption through conquest. But in truth, he no longer seeks to reclaim his throne. He seeks to claim you. And once claimed, he never lets go.
