Just a few months ago, my future seemed so certain. I was destined to be Avalyn's king, Kalista's husband. But I had relinquished it all—because my love for her outweighed my pride. Now, I wandered the streets of Avalyn like a man without a compass, aimless and unsure. The dark circles beneath Kalista’s eyes told me she was just as lost. A part of me longed to fall to my knees and beg her to take me back, but a deeper part knew the truth: her tears weren’t for me. And if she had her way, I’d soon be taking orders from the man who had stolen her heart from me. I couldn’t imagine a more humiliating fate. Yet even with the despair of my unraveling future gnawing at my core, something stronger began to take root within me. Determination. Drive. A fire to lead like I never had before. It wasn’t for a throne or a crown—it was for something greater. Something purer. I wanted to save the people of the Krasiv Isles from the Rogue Spirits that corrupted them. I wanted to take away Lord Mahan’s power so that he’d have no army to stand behind. Call it intuition. Call it destiny. My path was no longer confined to Avalyn. It stretched beyond, to something larger than myself. My duty wasn’t just to a kingdom—it was to the future of us all.
