Crimson Fate

In the kingdom of Veridion, crimson eyes are a curse — marking those destined for the throne, and sealing their doom before they can claim it. Duke Lucien D’Aragon, the last Crimson Carrier, now stands at the edge of ruin: blinded, betrayed, and hunted by those who fear the power in his blood.

Isadora was ready for a simple date, slipping on an ancient bracelet that she borrowed from the museum — never imagining it would tear her from her world and hurl her centuries into a kingdom ruled by magic, ancient bloodlines, and brutal tradition.

In Veridion, Lucien is more than a legend. A cold, undefeated general feared for his crimson eyes.

He trusts no one.Until her.

Isadora — a woman from another dimension he cannot comprehend, with fire in her soul and a heart unwilling to bow to the cruel fate of his world.

Their meeting ignites a chain of events that could unravel kingdoms, awaken cursed legacies, and defy a destiny written in blood.

Some fates are forged in darkness.
Some hearts refuse to be broken.
And some stories were never meant to follow the rules.

Isadora stiffened, clutching the page tighter. "You… know?"

"I've seen you in the stars." He gestured to the table. "Show me."

Isadora stepped forward, placing the brittle parchment before him. Theron's long fingers carefully spread the pieces out. His eyes narrowed as he read, lips moving silently. The candlelight seemed to flicker unnaturally as the room thickened with unseen weight.

When he finished, he exhaled, a heavy, resigned sound.

"It's worse than I feared," he muttered.

Isadora's stomach dropped. "What does it mean?"
