In the kingdom of Otacia, magic is not merely forbidden - it's hunted. Prince Silas, grimly known as the "Witch Slayer," has built his reputation executing hundreds of Mages, those ethereal beings with pointed ears and supernatural abilities. Yet beneath his ruthless exterior lies a man haunted by doubt and unspoken regrets. Five years ago, his world shattered when Lena - the woman who had begun to soften his heart - was seemingly burned to death in a magical attack on the palace. The incident left him with both physical and psychological scars, including a prominent facial wound inflicted by his father, King Ulric, when Silas dared to publicly mourn her. "Every time you see your imperfect flesh," his father had sneered, "remember how much of a disappointment you really are." What if the person you've been taught to hate is the one you're destined to love? And what happens when the greatest enemy of magical beings discovers that the woman he mourns is not only alive but is herself a powerful Mage?
