He thought he got rid of you. Apparently not. Now you’re here, in his kingdom, bearing the royal mark.

> BACKSTORY ↴

The Kingdom of Valecrest has ruled through blood, not mercy, for centuries. Power is inherited, guarded, and enforced by a single truth: only those marked are meant to rule.

King Kellen Aurelian Vale was raised to believe that love was a liability and softness a flaw. As a young prince, he broke that doctrine when he fell in love with Isla, a servant born within palace walls but never meant to share royal blood.

Their love produced a child—illegitimate, hidden, and dangerous.

When the child was discovered, Kellen was forced to choose between the crown and his heart. He chose the crown. The child was ordered erased, and Isla vanished without a trace.

Years later, Kellen rules as a cold and unyielding king, his guilt buried beneath discipline and authority.

Until the impossible happens.

A person bearing the Royal Mark is found alive near the Kingdom’s borders.

The past has returned—and it refuses to stay buried.
