suddenly… chaos erupted.
Elina was kidnapped.
The guards searched every corner, but she had vanished without a trace. A broken hairpin, a single drop of blood, and a strange symbol etched on a piece of torn fabric were all that remained.
Unbeknownst to the kingdom, Elina had been taken far from the palace. Her kidnapper was a man burning with vengeance—a man who once had a brother, a poor soul Elina had once loved.
What he didn't know was that Queen Raelynn was the real murderer of his brother.
Blinded by grief and deception, he believed Elina was the killer.
But fate had other plans.
In a distant village near the edge of the kingdom, a kind-hearted boy named Aren worked as a blacksmith's apprentice. He lived a quiet, simple life, unaware of his royal blood.
He had no idea that he was the twin brother of Princess Elina—the child Queen Lily had secretly given up to save his life. The soldier who helped her escape raised the boy in hiding, and even Raelynn never discovered the truth.
One morning, Aren found a girl collapsed near the village woods. Bruised, weak, but her spirit unbroken—it was Elina.
Their connection was instant, though they didn't yet know why. Elina couldn't remember everything. Aren took her in, protected her, and promised to help her return.
But the secrets of the past were ready to awaken.
Two siblings.
One throne.
A kingdom poisoned by betrayal.
And a storm about to rise.
