The Fire‑Wolf Queen gave birth to twins. The elder daughter was hailed as the prophesied destined Wolf‑Queen, while the younger daughter, Aliya, was condemned as an ill‑omened star because the sacred fire died out upon her birth. Stripped of her princess title, she was forced to wear a mask for life and became her elder sister’s handmaiden. For eighteen years, she trained, fought and bore wounds in her sister’s stead, claiming all the glory for her.
When her sister refused to marry Kael, the rumoured cold‑blooded and brutal Ice‑Wolf King, Aliya volunteered to take her sister’s place as the bride. After arriving among the Ice Clan, she defied everyone’s prejudices time and again with her courage and strength. Kael, who had never believed in prophecies, fell in love with the real her. From an ill‑fated outcast shunned by all, she grew into the Wolf‑Queen who brought an end to the century‑long war between the Fire‑Wolf and Ice‑Wolf clans.
