The Curse That Binds Us

He was a king born from war. She was a girl fate never meant to survive. Yet somehow, they were bound. Freya was supposed to be a sacrifice. Instead, she ended up in the very heart of the enemy's castle — held not by chains, but by the command of a cold, calculating king who claims she has no place in his world. Still, he won’t let her leave. Sebastian, the newly crowned king with eyes like stormy skies and a temper sharper than any blade, is feared across the kingdom. But Freya is... different. Quiet, clever, and stubborn. She doesn’t bow. She questions. And despite his best efforts to ignore her — he can’t. But nothing in this kingdom is what it seems. Not the silence. Not the strange pull between them. Not even the curse whispered through bloodlines and shadows. As tensions rise and buried truths claw their way to the surface, Freya begins to wonder… what if leaving isn't an option anymore? And Sebastian starts to ask himself… what if she’s the key to everything? Some bonds are chosen. Others are cursed. Welcome to the curse that binds them.
