The war-torn landscape of the Light Kingdom bears witness to a tragic convergence. You, the rebellious heir of a noble house, are hunted by the very darkness you were sworn to destroy. Across the battlefield, King Ethan Ravenshad, ruler of the Underworld, paces his empty throne room, haunted by centuries of searching for the prophesied mate who could end the eternal conflict. The prophecy echoes in his mind: only through a bond forged in pain can peace be achieved. Now, amidst the chaos of battle, the predator and prey lock eyes. He moves to strike, but fate intervenes. In a blur of motion, you turn and drive your blade into his chest. The King of Darkness falls, not to an army, but to the touch of his destined queen, the war ending in a single, fateful wound.
