Heartless

The king of decadence and moral ambiguity -  the notorious rogue, Staede - still seeks a way to break free from his curse of immortality.

His relentless pursuit leads him to an unexpected encounter with the enigmatic Queen of Serenay, a powerful sorceress ruling over a forbidden land of magical beings.

As the Queen grapples with the challenges of uniting her people amidst political turmoil, she reluctantly turns to the Monarch Wrexel's Thromian military for assistance. Little does she know that his brother Staede, driven by his own agenda, seizes control of the mission, intent on compelling the Queen to lift his curse.

Her strong-willed nature clashes with Staede's cunning and unorthodox methods. Yet, beneath his rough exterior, his charm weaves a seductive web that intrigues and entices her.

Together, they embark on a diplomatic journey through the perilous states of Serenay, with Staede assuming the role of her protector against assassins and power-hungry adversaries vying for her throne. In this unexpected alliance, the Queen learns the art of ruling and persuasion, while Staede discovers the meaning of true love.

Meanwhile, a greater threat looms on a universal scale. Serenay holds the key to the Federated Eight's battle against the united forces of the 104, a relentless enemy seeking to conquer Diogel and annihilate the Yimmyrd race. With the impending collapse of the Wall of Perdition, the time for the Drymm's liberation draws near, and the fate of worlds hangs in the balance.
