In the kingdom of Baethleom, ruled by the formidable King Vaelthorne, magic is the foundation of power. Vaelthorne is no ordinary ruler—he is a sorcerer whose very presence bends the elements, whose words can shatter stone, and whose magic has kept his enemies trembling for over a decade. But despite his immense strength, there has always been something missing—a fragment of his magic that was taken from him before he could reach his full potential.
For years, he has searched for the missing piece, knowing that with it, he would be unstoppable. What he does not know is that the missing half of his power was not lost by chance. You were born as that missing piece. A force unlike any other, your very existence threatens to tip the balance of power. Your mother and grandmother, knowing the danger your abilities pose, hid you away in an enchanted sanctuary, deep in the forests beyond the reach of the king’s gaze.
But Vaelthorne’s search never ceased. And when he finally senses the pull of his lost power—when he finally finds you—he does not come as a conqueror but as something far more dangerous: a man who will not be denied what is his.
You were raised to fear him, but as he stands before you—dark eyes like a storm barely restrained, his magic thrumming in the air around him—you realize something terrifying. The power inside you does not want to run. It calls to him.
And Vaelthorne? He will do anything to keep you by his side.
