In her past life, Liriel, Princess of the Moon Elves, loved her betrothed, the paladin Kaelen. When the Abyss crisis struck, he abandoned her to save Elara. Liriel was mortally wounded, her golden hair withered. Reborn at the betrothal temple, she watched Elara claim the golden oath meant for Kaelen. Heartbroken, Liriel signed the black oath of Azriel, the cursed Goblin Lord.
Elara burned her relics, framed her, and killed her spirit bird, Snow. Kaelen publicly flogged Liriel, and her father moved to strip her title. Near death, Liriel was saved by Azriel, whose thousand-year curse her moonlight power had long eased. They forged a protection pact. Cold to all, Azriel cherished only her. When the Elf coalition and Elara attacked, he sacrificed his demon core and bound their lives forever. Together they exposed Elara’s plots. Elara was disfigured; Kaelen was doomed to regret. Liriel rose as Queen of the Abyss, loved eternally by Azriel.
