A Kingdom Divided by Ancient Hatred
In the world of The Ever King, two realms exist in fragile balance: the Ever Kingdom of the sea fae and the Night Folk realm of the earth fae, separated by a magical barrier called the Chasm of Seas. This shimmering wall of enchanted water stretches from northern ice flows to southern deserts, created ten years ago through a forbidden ritual using the blood of Erik Bloodsinger, the captured sea fae prince. While the Night Folk celebrate this as their greatest victory, the Ever Kingdom suffers from a mysterious "darkening" that slowly poisons their once-pristine shores. Princess Livia of the Night Folk lives in the towering crystal palace of Moonspire, suffocating under the weight of tradition and her father's pressure to consider political marriages. What no one knows is that as a curious twelve-year-old, she formed an unlikely friendship with the imprisoned Erik, exchanging tokens-she gave him a silver bird pendant representing freedom, while he gifted her his royal emblem, a golden trident wrapped in seaweed. When Livia touches the Chasm's barrier during a celebration, a strange rune scar on her arm burns with intense blue light, and she glimpses a magnificent golden city rising from the waves. Unknown to her, this moment marks a critical change-the Chasm's magic has begun to fail, its waters receding for the first time in a decade.
