Introduction

They said his mother was cursed. She was beautiful, ambitious, and mad with power—driven to the edge of a tower by love, jealousy, and a witch’s spell. The night she nearly took her son with her, Queen Samira saved the child and raised him as her own. That child is now King Rowan.

He was forged in fire and loss. Raised by love, shaped by rumors, and hardened by the crown.

And this time, Rowan will not let magic take what he loves.So when a mysterious young healer is captured—a girl with haunting eyes, Rowan makes a choice that will change everything.She is his prisoner.

She is his last hope.And she might be the only woman who can break the curse...or become it. writing here…
