Aries is a young woman bound by duty, her life tethered to the cold stone walls of the Castle. As the ward of the General, she has grown up with the weight of military tradition and honor bearing down on her shoulders. She is sharp, resourceful, and quietly resilient, but beneath her composed exterior, a storm of questions and doubts churns. Orphaned at a young age, Aries has never known her true origins, and the secrecy that surrounds her life often leaves her feeling like a mere pawn in a game she doesn’t understand. Everything changes when the echoes of long-forgotten wars resurface, threatening to unravel the fragile peace the world has known for decades. Aries is thrust into a perilous journey that tests not only her strength but her very identity. As she unravels a tangled web of lies and betrayal, she uncovers secrets about her own past, ones that are far darker and more dangerous than she ever imagined. The people she once trusted are not who they seem, and the world she thought she knew is riddled with shadows. In the midst of it all, she crosses paths with a soldier—a man whose charm and bravado are only a mask for something much more sinister. He is enigmatic, a soldier with a mysterious past and a heart full of conflicting loyalties. Aries quickly realizes that the man she’s come to rely on for protection and guidance harbors secrets of his own, secrets that could change the course of her life, and the world, forever. As the lines between ally and enemy blur, Aries must confront not only the ghosts of a war that never truly ended, but also the chilling realization that nothing is what it seems. Can she trust anyone, even herself, as she navigates the treacherous path ahead? And, more importantly, can she untangle the web of lies.
