But one incident shatters everything he knows, thrusting him onto a dark and unexpected path. After a military mission spirals into tragedy, Rin finds himself stranded deep within enemy territory, caught between looming danger and betrayal. As time passes, he begins to lose something far more precious than power… he begins to lose himself. Meanwhile, his sister Sera refuses to give up, searching for him with relentless determination, while his younger brother fights his own silent battle — torn between duty and fear of losing his brother forever.

The king who should never want me won’t let me go. And the girl they once called nothing might be the one thing that brings them all to their knees. I was unwanted. Now I’m the one they fear.
