But she demands more than I might be capable of giving, and the cost of failing her is losing the only woman who’s ever truly understood me. As dangers close in around us, I’m beginning to realize that true power isn’t found in ruling—it’s in yielding to the one who holds your heart. Anora. They say I was born for greatness, created from ancient magic to fulfill a destiny even I don't fully understand.
