In a realm cloaked in shadow, two souls are forged by their horrific pasts and shaped by the power of their choices.
Prince Hector, burdened by the weight of his upbringing under a tyrannical rule, faces an unprecedented threat— an ancient demon that threatens his kingdom's very existence. His crown and countless lives hang in the balance as he is faced with a choice that could cost him everything. Fueled by an unwavering dedication to his people, and prepared to go to any lengths, Hector embarks on a perilous path to ensure their safety, even if it means sacrificing his own soul.
Meanwhile, Kierra, an enchantress with untamed powers, emerges from her desolate prison. The earth itself has been her mentor, instilling within her knowledge of her dangerous world. Her magic, fueled by deep-seated hatred and fury, possesses a lethal force that leaves destruction in its wake. Now unshackled and consumed by a thirst for vengeance, Kierra becomes the prey of ruthless demons.
Prince Hector and Kierra must navigate a treacherous world, where enemies lurk at every turn. Bound by circumstances they are forced to confront their inner demons as they face adversaries at every turn. Their resilience and choices will determine the very essence of their identities. Will they find the strength to overcome their individual battles and rise above their haunted pasts?
In a tale where resilience and self-discovery intertwine, Traitors & Tyrants, will captivate your imagination and leave you questioning the very essence of who we are and who we choose to become.
