In the enchanting realm of the Ever Seas, magic flows through bloodlines and ancient feuds divide kingdoms. Twenty years ago, Valen Ferus, the Night Folk king, killed Thorvald, the Ever King - setting in motion a conflict that would shape generations. When Erik, son of the slain king, kidnapped Livia Ferus for leverage against her father, neither expected their lives would intertwine through a magical heartbond. Despite being enemies by birth, they fell deeply in love. Erik named Livia the first Ever Queen - a revolutionary act in a kingdom that had never known a queen's touch. Their plans to unite the realms were progressing until betrayal struck from within. Larsson, Erik's half-brother, captured Livia, and in a desperate attempt to save her, Erik returned to enemy territory, only to be captured and brought before Valen Ferus - the man who killed his father. What happens when love blooms between sworn enemies? Can two souls from opposing worlds build a bridge strong enough to unite kingdoms divided by generations of hatred?
