Nemesis

Princess Sepora flees her kingdom after discovering her father plans to weaponize the rare substance she alone can create. Trying to disappear in a neighboring enemy land, she is instead captured and drawn into the center of a royal court that treats her as both servant and asset.

In Theoria, newly crowned King Tarik is struggling to rule amid a fast-spreading plague and political strain. He and Sepora begin as wary strangers, but their forced proximity, sharp exchanges, and growing trust complicate both their duties and their plans for survival.

As Sepora hides her true identity, the possibility that her gift could help save Tarik’s people grows alongside the threat that exposure could trigger war. Their story becomes a race between secrecy and trust, loyalty and desire, while larger conflicts between kingdoms continue to build around them.
