Locked in endless war, humans and angels have been bitter enemies for generations. Prince Edric watched his parents perish at the hands of the Angel Race, only for his stepmother to seize the throne. To cement her rule, she relentlessly sacrifices human youths to the cursed Angel King—a fate from which no victim has ever survived. Bound by dark hatred for both his stepmother and the angels, Edric is finally forced into submission when she uses his birth mother’s preserved corpse as leverage. To protect his mother’s remains, Edric offers himself as the next sacrifice to King Michael.
At first, Michael views Edric as nothing more than a cure to lift his curse. But through a tempest of sharp conflicts and forced intimacy, he finds himself deeply moved by Edric's unyielding spirit and pure heart. Yet, their bond carries a lethal price: the magical backlash of the curse will inevitably claim Edric’s life. As they draw closer, Edric unexpectedly falls for the cold, unfeeling King. Bound by a fatal destiny, how will these two tragic lovers face their doomed fate?
