The kingdom of Aurelia was a place where magic breathed through every streetlight and secret. Silver towers pierced the skies, their tips brushing the clouds that glowed with captured starlight. Airships drifted lazily above the horizon, their engines humming with the power of ancient runestones. To the people below, Aurelia was paradise — a marvel of technology and enchantment, where progress and wonder coexisted in glittering harmony.
But beneath its radiance lay the weight of fear, old as the first dawn. There were secrets buried deep under glass and gold — whispers of a prophecy that once shook the crown itself.
And that prophecy began with a girl who was never meant to exist.
Princess Elara Vale, the youngest child of the royal family, was hidden away the day she was born. A seer’s words had changed everything:
“The youngest of light shall awaken what was lost,and bring the shadows to rise again.”
The court trembled, the council demanded silence, and her parents — out of love and terror — erased her name from every record. To the kingdom, she became a myth; to her family, a precious secret; and to herself, a ghost who lived behind glass walls.
While Aurelia thrived under neon skies, Elara watched the world from her tower — a prisoner of light. She dreamed of the city beyond, of laughter echoing through markets and rain falling freely on her skin. She read stories of explorers, of heroes who chose their fate instead of being bound by it. And sometimes, in the quietest hours of night, she dreamed of him.
A boy she had never met.
Eyes gray as storm clouds, voice like a forgotten melody.
He stood in her dreams, reaching for her through mist and magic, whispering her name as if he already knew her soul.
In another corner of the kingdom, that boy — Kael Arden — woke each morning with no memory of his past. He worked as a mechanic in the city of Ravenport, where machines sang and shadows ruled. Around his neck hung a strange amulet that glowed whenever the name Elara crossed his thoughts.
Neither of them knew that their lives were bound by threads woven long before their births — threads of light and shadow, love and loss, destiny and defiance.
When Elara’s secret is leaked to the public, the peace of seventeen years shatters. Hunted by those who fear her power, she escapes the palace walls and runs toward the only place her sister told her to find — Ravenport.
There, her world collides with Kael’s. Together, they uncover truths that could rewrite history — about a forgotten realm, a stolen heir, and the prophecy that ties them both to the fate of two worlds.
But this is not just a tale of destiny. It is a story of courage and choice, of friendship and found family, of a girl learning to live beyond the name “princess,” and a boy discovering what it means to belong.
For sometimes, the greatest magic of all… is the power to choose who you become.
