Betrayed. Abducted. Bound by Vengeance.

Angel thought turning twenty would mean freedom—escaping the gilded cage her father built around her. But on the night of her birthday, she lost everything. Taken by Leoric, the man who had spent years plotting his revenge, she was meant to be nothing more than a pawn—a sacrifice to break her father’s pride.

But fate had other plans.

A mysterious vortex pulls them into a deadly new world—a land ruled by darkness, where power belongs to the strong and escape is impossible. The only way back? A tribute to the supreme ruler: a virgin bride.

With danger closing in and an unbreakable bond forming between captor and captive, Angel and Leoric must face an impossible choice. In a world where innocence is currency and survival demands sacrifice, will revenge still be enough?

Or will they become each other’s salvation?

The Tribute Bride

Before anyone could react, Baidu's voice cut through the noise.

A charged silence fell. After some time, Lakan Baidu continued reading the decree.

"All tribal leaders across Astralis will now bear the title 'King.' If they have not yet been called such, they shall be conferred as such noble title as of the first month of this year."

His gaze swept the entire tent and extended beyond its entrance, which had been pulled back to allow people from the outside to listen to the king's edict. He took every facial expression with a keen intensity.

Then, his gaze shifted back to the tribe leader seated beside King Akdan.

"Congratulations, King Beirut." Lakan Baidu's voice carried a hint of sincerity.

A smirk played at the edges of Akdan's lips.
