Youre a dangerous obsession of mine, Iva. That can lead us on a path of no return

Exiled. Betrayed. Forgotten.

That’s how they left me—stripped of my crown, abandoned to rot.

But fate has a cruel sense of humor, and now I’m back, thanks to her mercy.

Their Sweet Canary shattered my pride and saved my life.

She’s no longer the timid girl I remember.

She’s hardened, cunning, and locked in a deadly alliance with the reigning Ruthless Kings—the predators who rule this kingdom of shadows.

To reclaim my place at their table, I’ll have to prove my worth.

Not just to thembut to her.

Our society feeds on power, thrives on chaos, and devours the weak.

Forging an alliance with the Kings means abandoning mercy and stepping into the fire, even if it burns us all.

But I didn’t come back just to kneel.

I came to destroy, to take what’s mine, and maybe her too, in the process.

Because a kingdom built on blood demands sacrifices, and this time, it won’t just be my soul on the line.

It’ll be hers.

And if I have to burn this whole empire to ash to keep herso be it.
