Heart Of The Raven Prince

Heist of the Heart

**Title: "Heist of the Heart"** In the bustling city of Verona, where love stories are as abundant as the café aromas wafting through the streets, Mia Carter was known as the queen of the art of seduction. An aspiring romance novelist, she had a knack for understanding the intricacies of love. But despite her expertise, Mia had never experienced true romance herself. That was until she met Ethan Blake, the charming yet elusive owner of a vintage bookstore tucked away in a cobblestone alley. Ethan had a reputation for being a heartbreaker, a man who captivated women with his enchanting smile and mysterious aura, only to leave them longing for more. Intrigued by his complexities, Mia decided that she would attempt the impossible: to steal Ethan's heart. Inspired by her own romantic escapades, she devised a playful plan to win him over. Mia began frequenting Ethan's bookstore, not just to browse the shelves but to engage him in witty banter. She would strategically select books that mirrored their conversations—romantic classics and heartwarming tales. Each visit turned into a delightful exchange, with laughter echoing against the book-laden walls. Unbeknownst to Ethan, Mia was penning their interactions in her journal, crafting a story of their own. As the weeks passed, their connection deepened. Mia discovered that beneath Ethan's rugged exterior lay a heart yearning for genuine love. However, a shadow from his past loomed over him—an ex-girlfriend who seemed determined to win him back. Determined not to let this obstacle stand in her way, Mia concocted a scheme to eliminate the competition. One evening, she invited Ethan to a local art gallery, knowing his ex would be present. As they wandered through the vibrant displays, Mia's playful charm and genuine interest in his passions shone brightly. When his ex approached with a flirty smile, Ethan simply turned to Mia, whose confidence and authenticity captivated him. By the end of the night, as they strolled beneath the starlit sky, Ethan turned to Mia and, with a soft smile, confessed, “I think you might have just stolen my heart.” In that moment, Mia realized that true love wasn’t about elaborate schemes; it was about being oneself. With hearts intertwined, they embarked on a journey of love, proving that sometimes, the best heist is simply being real.

Lord Raven's Court

In the year 556 of the Runtallian Calendar, a war broke out in the eastern frontier of the Kingdom of Runtallia between the eastern overlord, Duke Gaverone Walruse of Regalia, and the barbarian chief-thane known as Dariun Drunzelle of the Shiradonii tribe, one of the Four Great Tribes of Norsmund, a nation that borders the Kingdom, deemed to be the land of brutes and savages. As the Duke of Regalia marches with his army to defend the disputed land of Kurlon, the barbarians have taken such an opportune moment to launch another incursion near the eastern border of Regalia near the town of Flendle, with the intention of dividing his army. However, despite accepting the town and the surrounding local lords' territories as lost cause in the war in favor of Kurlon– a newly discovered territory bountiful with veins of iron and other minerals– the Duke tasks his third son, Lord Velmund Walruse, along with his retinue, the Order of the Raven Knights, to fend off the attack. Now faced with the plight of defending the border town against a 5,000-strong Norsmundi army with his few yet skilled knights, along with an ill-equipped and undermanned militia, Lord Velmund has no choice but to fulfill his duty as a noble, relying upon his wits and his few but capable retainers to survive his first battle at the tender age of sixteen summers and winters. Contrary to his timid, youthful, and innocent appearance, however, lies his sly and scheming nature, evident by his fondness of dark magical arts specializing in illusion spells. Nevertheless, he himself has no idea of what he is capable of, and what he is destined to become. Meanwhile, further east at the frontier with Norsmund, a plot hatches to ensnare the Duke within the clutches of his treacherous vassals. Not only his life is threatened by these schemes, but his sons Theo and Varus as well. With this scheme put into motion, the Duke and Velmund's siblings, Varus and Theo, would taste fate's twisted humor, with the former meeting his demise in a blaze of glory amidst the field of battle, and the latter two vanishing in incidents shrouded by mysteries. With the death of the patriarch of Regalia and his heirs' disappearance, the young lord who was initially third in line for the succession of the ducal seat became its temporary occupant. And thus, the tale of him and his court begins… CHAPTER RELEASE: January 1st at 12:00 UTC
