Eager to explore their fated bond, Aria enters Kael's castle as his domestic attendant, melting his guarded heart through gentle companionship. When a dark prophecy reveals that bearing their fated child could cost Aria her life, Kael braves treacherous mountain summits to find a miraculous cure before enemies strike.
