Since the dawn of its creation, only one law has determined its ruler—the Trial of Kings. A brutal tradition. A test of strength, will, and power. To claim the throne, a prince must defeat or kill his competitors. As the youngest prince, Lucien Aurelian Enigma was never meant to stand among his brothers.

Excerpt: The dim glow of the city lights cast jagged shadows across Adrian’s sharp features as he leaned against the edge of his desk, arms crossed, his gaze a storm of suspicion and something darker—something far more dangerous. Valeria stood across from him, her expression an intoxicating mix of defiance and amusement. She had perfected the art of playing innocent, but tonight, something in Adrian’s eyes made her heart pound in warning. “You’re up to something,” he said, voice low and measured, like the edge of a blade pressing against silk. She arched a brow, taking slow, deliberate steps toward him, her heels clicking against the hardwood floor. “Oh?” she mused, tilting her head. “And what exactly am I up to, amore mio?” Adrian’s jaw tightened. “You tell me.” A slow smirk curled her lips as she invaded his space, her fingers lightly grazing the lapel of his jacket. “You don’t have proof.” His eyes darkened, flicking down to where her fingers toyed with the fabric. “I don’t need proof,” he murmured. “I see it in your eyes. The way you watch me. Like you’re calculating your next move.” Valeria chuckled, the sound soft, teasing. “And here I thought you were the one watching me.” She dragged her nails lightly down his chest, feeling the way his muscles tensed beneath his tailored suit. “You want proof?” His hand shot out, gripping her wrist, but his touch wasn’t rough—it was deliberate, commanding. “Yes.” His voice dropped lower, nearly a whisper. “Prove it.” The challenge hung between them, thick with tension. Her pulse hammered in her throat, but she didn’t hesitate. She reached up, her fingers threading into his dark hair as she closed the space between them, her lips grazing his—soft, testing, before she deepened it.

Since he was six years old, Adrian Nero has always had a dream. Thanks to his father's influence, he developed a great interest in football at a very young age. He loved the way the game was played, the way a team of eleven players worked together to score as many goals as possible against their opponents while conceding as little as possible, he loved the tactical aspect of the game with teams trying to play to their strengths and their opponent's weaknesses. But more than those, he loved watching the players lift trophies after winning a tournament. That's right, the thing Adrian liked the most about football was lifting trophies. Immersing himself in any game, his favourite teams played, he always felt like he was there celebrating and smiling with them. He loved that feeling. 'I'll really be there one day.' He always thought to himself. Despite his father's love for the game, his parents did not exactly support his dream to become a footballer and preferred him to go to a normal school to study and get a normal job. However, all hope was not lost as his high school was one of the schools that strongly supported having sports activities in their curriculum and it wasn't just for formality's sake. Adrian fought his way through, becoming the captain of the football team as early as the first year of senior high. With his help the team grew to become quite a formidable one and was named as one of the favourites going into the qualifications for the intercontinental highschool tournament, a competition taking place in his last year of highschool and his chance to lift his first trophy. That was when disaster struck. Due to work reasons, Adrian was forced to move back to his home country with his family leaving behind the team he had worked hard to put together. However, he was fortunate enough to find himself in a school eligible to take part in the qualifications for the tournament. Finding out about that, he felt that all hope wasn't lost, a feeling that was soon carried away by the wind. Sino Academy, although possessing a very good and well-maintained pitch alongside the basic equipment, was one that never took sports seriously. In all the times they had participated in the tournament, they had only been able to get through the qualifications once but miserably failed to get through the group stage. This was an event of fifteen years ago. Facing a school with a non-existent team and players that lacked teamwork, coordination and motivation, Adrian couldn't help but feel that his dream was far beyond his reach.

Evelyn Rayner had lost it all, her family, her business, and, worst of all, herself. Betrayal, regret, and a spectacularly bad series of life choices had left her in ruins. But, as it turns out, fate wasn’t quite done with her. Given a second chance (thank you, universe!), she was back. Wiser, fiercer, and absolutely determined to set things right. Debts of love and loyalty? She’d repay them. Wounds she’d caused? She’d mend them. And most importantly… him. Now, in the heart of a grand ballroom, wrapped in silk and second chances, she moved through the sea of admirers like a queen on a mission. Their awed whispers and longing stares? Utterly ignored. She had eyes for only one man. Adrian Vaughn. The one she lost. The one she wouldn’t lose again. She found him at last, standing tall and unreadable, that maddening air of mystery still intact. Steeling herself, she reached him, her voice soft but daring as she teased, “Didn’t you promise me you’d only dance with me?” His piercing gaze flickered with something unreadable before amusement danced in his eyes, and a slow, knowing smirk curled his lips. Leaning in, his breath warm against her ear, he murmured, “I didn’t know my little wife would be the jealous type.” The words struck her like a bolt of nostalgia. Little wife. A childhood memory bloomed; her younger self, all confidence and mischief, declaring to the world that Adrian Vaughn was hers. Now, looking at the man before her; cool, unreadable, yet teasing in a way only she could decipher; gratitude swelled within her. She had lost him once. And in her past life’s final moments, regret had nearly crushed her. But this time? Oh, she was going to make sure he knows how much she loves him.
