Silk And Cologne

Princess Althea has spent her life as a pawn in the ruthless game of royal politics. When a fragile alliance collapses, her father’s solution is to marry her off to the enemy to stave off war. To ensure her compliance, he assigns Sir Catria—a stoic, battle-hardened knight with everything to lose—to escort her across hostile lands. Catria’s cold discipline grates against Althea’s fiery defiance, igniting a clash of wills that neither can afford to lose. But as assassins and treacherous terrain force them to rely on each other, the line between duty and desire begins to blur. Althea glimpses the cracks in Catria’s iron resolve, while Catria sees the unyielding strength behind Althea’s rebellion. As danger closes in and an unwanted marriage looms, they must make a choice: stay the course and sacrifice everything—or defy their fates and risk a love that could reshape their kingdoms.

One Hero Is Not Enough To Save The World. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amael, the hero, singlehandedly wiped out more than half of the entire demon race all on his own and even won against the demon king. This should have put him at ease but unfortunately for the human race, the demon king and his race were fated to come back to life again after thousands of years, just like it's always been. "You may have won this time Amael, but the next time, there'll be no one as powerful enough as you to save this world" the demon king cackled with a malicious laughter as he faded away. "This is only a temporary peace..." "Very well then... If this is what I must do to completely eradicate them, then I will" Amael then made a decision. A decision he had hoped would ensure the safety of the future for generations to come. _________________________________________________________________ "We were supposed to be dead, but when we both woke up, we found ourselves in this new world... a world that was all too familiar to both of us" _________________________________________________________________ Author Note: The first few chapters (Around 20 chaps) will be written in 1st person POV but after the introduction of more characters, I will seamlessly switch to the third person POV. Also, as you might've noticed, there will be two male leads. I really hope you enjoy reading the book as much as I enjoyed writing it!
