1 Prologue

In a world divided by two powerful kingdoms, the Kingdom of Blood and the Kingdom of Soul, a shadowy threat loomed on the horizon. Rumors whispered of an ancient evil, lurking beyond the borders of the kingdoms, waiting to strike.

The Blood Kingdom was feared by many for their violent ways, but their king, Adonis, was a wise and just ruler, beloved by his people. He had a daughter, Luna, who was born under a dark omen. Her mother, the queen, died in childbirth, and the kingdom mourned for their loss.

Despite this tragedy, Luna grew up to be a strong and determined princess, destined to take the throne. One day, while on a walk in the forest, she stumbled upon a young man from the Kingdom of Soul. His name was Jace, and he was a healer, able to perform miracles with his touch.

Luna and Jace fell deeply in love, despite the danger of their kingdoms being at odds. They kept their love a secret, meeting in the shadows, until Luna became pregnant with their child. They knew they could not keep their secret forever, but they were determined to protect their child and each other.

As fate would have it, war broke out between the Kingdom of Soul and an ancient enemy. Luna and Jace knew they had to fight for their people, leaving their newborn son, Ryan, in the care of Adonis.

Tragically, Luna and Jace were killed in the war, leaving Adonis to raise Ryan alone. His heart filled with grief and rage, Adonis blamed the Kingdom of Soul for the loss of his daughter and her husband.

As Ryan grew up, he was consumed by his grandfather's hatred, despite the fact that his own father was from the Kingdom of Soul. The ancient evil that threatened their world continued to lurk in the shadows, waiting for its chance to strike. And the fate of the kingdoms, and Ryan's own destiny, hung in the balance.
