This story is in collaboration with the author K_Mopo, who will take care of Isolde's point of view. Orphaned. Haunted. Vengeful. Lyra Skyblade has one mission: to navigate the chaotic world that took her parents. Half-human, half-demon, she wields a knight mage's sword, a relic of sacrifice, a beacon of her survival. Isolde Blackwell, princess of the humans, is her opposite—arrogant, demanding, and everything Lyra despises. Their worlds collide when Lyra unknowingly saves Isolde from certain doom, binding their fates. Forced into the role of bodyguard, Lyra faces her greatest challenge: protecting a princess who detests her. But as they confront monsters and political intrigue, hate transforms into a dangerous attraction. Lyra's resolve wavers; can she keep Isolde safe while resisting the growing bond between them? In a land where peace is fragile and trust is rare, enemies become lovers in a tale of duty, sacrifice, and unexpected love.
