You always felt that you’ve been cursed since birth.

You and your siblings being taken away from your parents when you were twelve by child services due to child abuse and domestic violence really put a traumatic impact on your innocence and child like imagination. And thanks to the court systems and such you and your siblings weren’t split apart—imagine what could have happened if they did…

Moving from place to place and home to home has really put a weight on you, but that’s not the real issue. The real issue is them, your foster “parents” and they are something you can’t really get rid of either. Finally settling in your new home, California Los Angeles, you really thought everything would get better. I mean you just started becoming a teenager lucky number thirteen, by now life should be better right?

No.

In fact it got much worse.

Your older brother stopped coming home more, your sister started bringing a new boyfriend home every week because something obviously went wrong and she won’t tell you, and then there’s your younger brother who doesn’t even know what’s truly going on.

The world along with your body is changing every second.

Your now in the 8th grade where there is significant physical changes and emotions all over the place, your starting to notice things that weren’t as important then they were as before and the main focus is to fit in.

Completely shut down and make your own decisions because you feel like you’re old enough.

Make your foster parents life a living hell, and deal with your siblings.

Deal with running away, drama, fights, teen heartbreak, late-night parties, peer pressure, self-discovery, court systems, small teen romance, and parental relations along with family dysfunction…yea it’s a lot.

Will you be able to keep yourself from breaking?

⟡ MAIN CHARACTERS ⟢

The Older Brother: Sylas ⟡ he/him, 18 ⟢ The ordinary rebellious teenage boy who literally doesn’t give a shit about you or anyone else in that matter. Sylas who was born first already knows how it all goes, he told you many times how child services had almost taken him away before you was even born, and to be honest it almost sounds like he brags about it. Highly reserved and keeps to himself in his room or is either never home. You wondered why he never tried to save himself and run away. Maybe it’s because you and the rest of his siblings are his last hope in this hell hole.

Personality: confident, rebellious, short tempered, and charismatic. He likes dark humor and is not afraid to tell you how stupid you look.

Appearance: 6’3 in height with chin length dyed black messy wavy hair that he somehow makes looks good, with tanned like skin which is weird since he never leaves his room, and dark brown eyes along with his angel bite piercing, tongue piercing, eyebrow piercing on the left, and ear piercings. He wears a black band t-shirt from the 90’s that he stole from a thrift store and wears baggy grey ripped jeans with a black belt that has silver rhinestones with a skull along with black sneakers. He also has a full tattoo of angel wings on his back, rumor says it’s because it was his nickname back at his old “job” when he was 17.

Your Only Sister: Darcelle ⟡ she/her, 16 ⟢ Darcelle always gotten the spiteful looks from mom every time she was either getting ready for school or just to go hang out with her friends. It was obvious that she was jealous of her, even dad would give her unusual stares. Darcelle was one of the prettiest girls in her whole school and neighborhood, and I mean everyone loved her but that didn’t take her time away from you and the rest of her siblings. She would always take you out along with your younger brother when things in the house got really bad. Now..she doesn’t do that anymore. Maybe there’s something more going on than you realize.

Personality: sharp and quick-witted, she holds confidence on the outside but in the inside she’s emotionally unstable. She treats you and your siblings entirely different than she treats everyone else.

Appearance: 5’5 in height with long length brown wavy hair with dyed blonde highlights and amber eyes along with pierced ears that holds gold hoop earrings. She wears makeup which you don’t understand why since she looks beautiful with or without it. She has tanned skin just like your older brother but with moles all over her body. She wears a red lace crop top and jean shorts with long white socks with red stripes at the top along with red adidas. She likes the color red which is obvious, her nails are also painted red with gold highlights.

Naive Younger Brother: Ollie or Oliver ⟡ he/him, 7 ⟢ You can’t blame him from being naive, I mean he’s only seven but even you knew what was really going on by the age of five. You guess that happens when neglecting parents choose to live through their youngest child. Your older brother always told you that Ollie wouldn’t survive in a world like this and should just hurry up and put him down before something worst gets to him first, he was quickly put to silence by your sister. What ever happens you will make sure nothing ever happens to Ollie, not while you’re still here.

Personality: shy, quiet, dependent, he has a hard time looking at people in the eyes and always hovers around you when he doesn’t have his toys to play with.

Appearance: 3’9 in height with short messy dark blonde wavy hair with brown eyes and tanned skin with freckles all over. He has a small scar near his eyebrow ever since he fell from climbing a tree, you can trust that he never climbed a tree ever again. He wears a normal dark green hoodie with a picture of a dinosaur on the front and long jean shorts with brown sneakers and white socks. He carries his stuffed bear that’s nearly falling apart every wear he goes.

⟡ ROMANCES ⟢

The Handsome Stoner: Scott or Smokey ⟡ he/him, 13 race: white ⟢

He’s known all around town as the stoner kid. He is usually seen behind stores or with his group of friends near the abandoned mall. He’s popular with the girls and rumors say with the boys as well, but when it comes to teachers and police officers not so much. He was the first to talk to you on the first day of school, he gave you some pointers of what you should and shouldn’t do, which was no help at all but you didn’t tell him that. You will always know if he’s near when you smell that huge aroma of marijuana.

Personality: easygoing, creative, openminded, and empathetic. Smokey will always have your back and even more if you offer him a blunt, if you smoke ofc! He once told you that his first blunt was when he was 8, it was offered to him by his older brother which he talks about all the time. When that stupid redhead tried beating you up along with his friends, Smokey came to the rescue earning himself a purple eye and a free new Pokémon card deck which is his second favorite thing besides weed. He said he never had a fear of death since everyone dies, but his true fear was never being able to be high again.

Appearance: 5’3 in height with shoulder length dirty blonde hair, fair skin with light freckles, and hazel eyes with a silver eyebrow piercing on his right and a single silver peace piercing on his left ear. He has a secret tattoo of a weed plant on his shoulder. He wears a brown hoodie with a white peace logo on the front and dark grey sweatpants with floral patterns, green converses, and a grey beanie. He also wears a sliver ring on his middle finger that he got from a corner store near the bowling alley.

The Eccentric Goth: Thatcher ⟡ he/him, 13 race: asian & white ⟢

He’s known as the weird kid who sits in the center of the classroom, never focused and is always drawing on his desk which of course isn’t allowed but he doesn’t care. In fact this kid is the epitome of not giving a care in the world. He comes from a well off family known as the Tanaka family. An asian family who basically owns three businesses throughout California Los Angeles. You at first thought he was strange but when you get to know him he’s actually kind, well kind enough to let you talk to him, and very snarky. He is very kingly which you can find annoying at times. It makes it hard to make any other friends, even just asking to be split apart for a few times causes him to become distant. Overall he is petty—

Personality: quiet, sarcastic, and possessive. Thatcher doesn’t talk much but is a very good listener or you think he’s listening. Thatcher always looks like he’s disconnected from the world always staring off into space, but once you say his name his attention is once again fully on you. You noticed sometimes when he’s not in school he’s at the skating park with his other depressive friend group, you soon found out he’s the leader of that group after meeting some of the members. One thing that’s super creepy was when you noticed how dark his eyes become when you forgot to text him one day. He never commented on it but he did completely ignore you the full day of school and then the next day and the day after that- You wonder what his problem is. He never talks about his parents which is to be expected since he doesn’t really talk at all, but when you visit on the weekends to stay at his (mansion) house you notice the lack of parents.

Appearance: 5’5 in height with short wavy black hair dyed with dark purple highlights styled in micro fringes, pale skin white with a few moles over his face and deep black obsidian eyes along with piercings such as a septum, nose, eyebrow (on the right), angel bites, lip, tongue, and multiple ear piercings. How did his parents allow him to have all these piercings and Darcelle wouldn’t let you even have one is completely beyond unfair. His body is skinny with an athletic build. He wears a dark purple t-shirt with chrome designs along with a black sweater that also has skull designs and black fur on the rim of the hoodie, dark jeans with a black blinged belt and chains hanging from the sides, has multiple silver cross necklaces and wears huge leather platform boots with belt buckles on them. He has multiple silver chrome rings on his fingers and his nails are painted black. Overall his outfit is very expensive-

The Free-spirited Chic: Fay or Faith ⟡ she/her, 13 race: black ⟢ TBA

All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey.

18+ This interactive story includes graphic violence, sexual content, alcohol and drug use, profanity and more.

Disclaimer Gender and race-locked IF due to discussions of gender and racial politics throughout.

Take centre stage as a former-rockstar turned actress navigating your new career and the chilling grip of fan-obsession. Your once-famous band may be nothing short of a ghost of the past to you, but the rest of the world cannot seem to let go. The split in 1968 was scandalous, abrupt and mysterious. And although you’ve thrown yourself into acting and secured your first major role with a big time Hollywood director, whispers of blame have been on your tail ever since.

While most of Hollywood sees these rumours for what they are--empty gossip--a darker current takes precedence and poses a much more sinister threat to your life and the lives of those around you.

✼ Shape and mould into your truest ‘70s self. Perhaps you’re a mod-girl or a hippie? ✼ Interact with '60s and '70s icons on the Sunset Strip. ✼ Help uncover the identity of the 'Ampersand Killer' terrorising the West Coast. ✼ Decide which career path is more fitting for you. Are you made to live on the silver screen or stadium stages? ✼ Maintain and better your physical health and self-defence skills. ✼ Pick from a selection of love interests (including two gender-choice options). ✼ Includes an array of potential flings. ✼ A catalogue of original songs for fictional musicians.

Vincent "Vince" Buscemi, the ex-bandmate ⇢ You were part of one of the most renowned bands of the '60s together. Vince is a jaded soul, harbouring deep-seated reservations about many people--most notably the band's keyboardist--but he has always had a soft spot for you. Despite his guarded demeanour, he exudes effortless charm and impeccable manners, a testament to his healthy upbringing. Though widely celebrated as a pop-culture heartthrob, Vince defies superficial stereotypes. His truest passion lies in music, and it's clear that nothing in the world brings him greater joy.

Penn Hausler, the filmmaker ⇢ Though still considered an up-and-coming filmmaker, Penn has already made a name for himself as a creative force in the industry, thanks to his latest hit starring Faye Dunaway. He radiates charisma, with a shining personality and a sharp sense of humour. He's unmistakably a nerd--passionately devoted to his craft. He's also prone to being a bit of a square, often finding himself tangled in bouts of nervous awkwardness. Despite this, his unwavering commitment to his vision sets him apart, and he's not afraid to take bold creative risks. Case in point: he has cast you as a supporting actress in his next film.

Kai/Kaya Anahareo (m/f), the folksinger ⇢ Although they haven't yet broken into the mainstream, K is a highly skilled musician deeply respected by their peers. Their artistry intertwines seamlessly with their role as a political activist, with much of their protest powerfully conveyed through their music. K is the embodiment of levelheadedness, exuding an aura of calm and balance that draws people to them. Their presence is steady and reassuring, much like the songs they sing--thoughtful, impactful and unwavering.

Dorinda Fisher, the journalist ⇢ Dorinda is a sharp, driven and fiercely dedicated journalist. Relentless in her pursuit of a story or a hard-to-find answer, she doesn't back down easily. Hailing from a small town, she's well-read and possesses a no-nonsense approach to life. You first crossed paths through your bandmate, whom she dated earlier in your career. During the US leg of your tour, she joined the band on the road while freelancing, documenting the whirlwind of your band's journey during a fair few defining months in your rise to fame.

Please note: You will have the option to decide whether the two of you had a romantic connection in the past while you were on the road.

Phillip/Phyllis Wright (m/f), the movie star ⇢ P is a Hollywood icon, a name already as timeless and celebrated as the likes of both Hepburns, Cary Grant and Sidney Poitier. An Academy Award-winning actor, they embody the pinnacle of cinematic stardom, capturing Penn's admiration and dream of collaboration. Known for their charm, striking good looks and effortless sophistication, P commands every room they enter.

Lesley Nielsen, the detective ⇢ Detective Inspector Nielsen is a man married to his work. His guarded and disciplined demeanour can often make him seem laborious, but beneath the tough exterior lies a dry wit and the ability to crack a well-timed joke. A strikingly handsome gentleman, he's adept with a handgun and keeps one at his side at all times. A seasoned veteran of the force, Nielsen only crosses paths with you once he's assigned as the lead detective on the high-profile Ampersand Killer case. Whether you share much in common is up in the air, but one thing is certain: your mutual determination to bring a cold-blooded murderer to justice.

CAELIS (f/m) —

Tall. Composed. Every movement is intentional. Their features are sharp in a quiet, commanding way. . Their wings are immaculate. Pale feathers layered with dark feathers perfectly, broad enough to shield without effort. When they unfurl, the air shifts — not violently, just decisively. Being near Caelis feels like standing beside something ancient and steady. Like a cathedral that learned how to walk.

VEX (f/m) —

Tall. Taller than a lot of people. Dark hair that never quite behaves but never looks accidental either with a pale complexion to match. Eyes that rest half-lidded, watchful, always cataloguing. Their expression tends to hover somewhere between faint amusement and complete detachment. Their wings are sleek and controlled. Clean lines. Precise symmetry. Rarely fully spread. They keep them close, tucked in, disciplined.

M (f/m) —

Lighting hits them differently than it should. Like their features settle a half-second too late. Their expression is unreadable in a way that doesn’t feel cold — just distant. Observing from somewhere slightly removed. Their wings are darker, their iridescence faint, flickering when they move. Nearly silent. Nearly weightless. So out of the ordinary.

ELIO (m) —

Elio smiles, and the rooms brighten up. Light skin that seems to hold light naturally. White-blonde curls that refuse order. Eyes that give everything away — curiosity, worry, delight — all of it. Their wings are expressive in the same way they are. Gold-tipped feathers that shimmer when they move, rarely held still. They react with every emotion like punctuation marks in midair.

ZIVA (f) —

Bright eyes. Sharp grin. Dark tightly curled hair pulled back in a way that suggests she tried to make it neat and immediately gave up. She moves fast — talks faster — and somehow always seems two steps ahead socially. Tall, slender, with a dark complexion. Her wings are vibrant, feathers edged with subtle shifting tones that flash when she gestures. And she gestures constantly. Ziva is chaos — but the fun kind.

ATHOS (m) —

Athos looks as if he was built to hold the line. Broad shoulders, black skin. Solid stance. The kind of physical presence that makes space without asking for it. His gaze is steady, assessing — not unkind, just direct. His wings are dense and powerful, darker feathers layered thick like armour. When they spread, it’s not graceful — it’s imposing. The air moves because they decided it should.

LIORA (f) — Liora looks like quiet light, the only difference between her and her brother is her hair is long and white-blond, he has curls. She has soft features. Gentle eyes. The kind of expression that makes you lower your voice without realising why. There’s patience in the way she moves — unhurried, careful. Her wings glow faintly at the edges, gold and ivory blending like sunlight through stained glass. When fully spread, they feel less like a display and more like shelter. Standing near Liora feels safe. Even when nothing else is. more tba

Welcome to the Official Dev Blog for:

★ Throne of Blood and Roses ★

Link: Enjoy! Chapter 1

“You weren’t meant to be here…but now I can’t imagine any of this without you.”

Wassup yall! I wanted to introduce myself and say thank you for checking out my little pet project. I’m a new interactive fiction writer, and this blog is where I’ll be sharing the process of writing my first IF game: Throne of Blood and Roses. It took a lot of courage for me to do this and show the world something I created. So if you love complicated royals, class tension, slow-burn romance, reality TV drama, and a bit of blood I welcome you home.

★Summery ★

You are a nobody.

A commoner with no fame, no title, barely enough money to your name, and no place among the elite.

So when the royal heir of Eden refused their arranged match to Cain/Delilah/judas Vale a powerful noble born in Eden to rule beside them the kingdom’s fragile court began to crumble.

In a desperate attempt to restore order, King Aldric invoked an ancient law:

“When the heir’s heart falters, the will of Eden shall decide, the Selection Trials shall now commence!”

The Selection Trials is for nobles of other families, celebrities, and high ranking military personnel just those who bleed 24k gold.

Ten elite contestants were invited to compete for the heir’s hand in marriage a televised spectacle of romance, performance, and a little bit of blood.

Then, against all expectation, they chose you. A name no one knew. In a place no one believed you belonged.

No one knows why you was called.

The nobles hate you for it.

The rival wants you erased.

And the heir?

They can’t take their eyes off you.

★meet the characters ★

You — The Nobody

“I’m no one. But if I make it to the end, they’ll never forget me.”

Age: 23 | Identity & Appearance: Fully Customizable

Status: Commoner

You’re not powerful, not royal, not wealthy. You’ve worked too many late shifts and been ignored too many times to believe in fairy tales. But now you’re a contender in a deadly game of beauty and blood. You’re the commoner in a den of lions can you survive?

⸻

The Heir of Eden — The Crowned Flame

“They dressed me in gold and told me to smile. But I only feel real when I’m with you.”

Age: 23 | Gender & Appearance: Customizable

Status: Royalty

ROMANCEABLE? Yes (Main RO)

The kingdom watches their every step. Perfect posture. Perfect smile. A perfect lie. The Heir is the only child of the royal line—raised in isolation, sheltered behind palace walls, and molded into an icon. They’ve never set foot beyond the castle gates. Not until now. Their rejection of a noble match sparked the Trials, shaking the kingdom’s order. In public, they play their part. But in private, the mask slips.

And when their eyes find you, it is not for politics this time.

⸻

Yandere Mode (Optional)

“You don’t understand, I’d burn this entire kingdom for you.”

When enabled, the Heir’s love becomes dangerous. They watch you too closely. Need you too deeply. And if the world tries to take you away—they’ll tear it apart, piece by piece. Their obsession is quiet. Until it isn’t.

⸻

Cain (male)/ Delilah (female)/ Judas (nonbinary) Vale — The Obsessed Rival

“You flickered into their world like a spark. Beautiful. Brief. But I’ll be the one to snuff you out.”

Age: 23 | Gender: player's choice

Appearance: Pale skin, sleek black hair, frozen blue eyes, perfectly controlled posture

Status: Noble

ROMANCEABLE? No

They were supposed to be the one. Groomed since birth to stand beside the Heir, Cain/ Delilah/ judas’s rejection shattered their image—and their pride. They smile like royalty and speak with venom. Your presence is an insult they won’t forget.

⸻

Elias / Elara Kane — The Stoic Blade

“I was taught to protect power. You make me want to protect something else.”

Age: 26 | Gender: Selectable

Appearance: Deep brown skin, strong frame, close-cropped or braided hair, unreadable eyes

Status: Noble Guard

ROMANCEABLE? Yes

A soldier at heart, Elias/Elara didn’t come to win a crown. They came because they were ordered to. Quiet, loyal, and focused—until you break their routine.

⸻

Phoenix “Nix” Vega — The Wild Spark

“You’re trouble. The kind I like to keep around.”

Age: 25 | Pronouns: They/Them

Appearance: Sun-bronzed skin, bright green eyes, wild red-black curls, piercings and a sharp grin

Status: Celebrity

ROMANCEABLE? Yes

They live for the spotlight—and the chaos just behind it. Nix walks into every room like they own it, flirt with danger. They came for attention. But something tell you there is more to them then they let on.

⸻

Vivian / Vincent Sinclair — The Mastermind

“I don’t gamble. But I’d be willing to bet on you.”

Age: 24 | Gender: Selectable

Appearance: Pale, platinum-blond hair, silver-gray eyes, tailored style and colder smiles

Status: Political Elite

ROMANCEABLE? Yes

Sinclair always plays the long game. Every move is calculated. Every word, intentional.

They don’t fall easily trust is a currency they rarely spend. But then you appeared. Unexpected. Unaccounted for.

And somehow, you make them unsure of their next move.

⸻

Alexis Grant— The Heir’s Constant

Status: Noble | Royal Confidant

ROMANCEABLE? No

Alexis has known the Heir since childhood. Loyal, but not blind. Affectionate, but never unguarded. They care deeply—for the person beneath the crown, not the title itself. If you’re good for the Heir, they’ll protect you without question. If you’re not? They’ll make sure you don’t get the chance to become a problem for them.

⸻

Queen Lysandra Castellan — The Velvet Flame

“The Trials is just a stage. Let’s see what you look like when the light hits you.”

Age: Early 40s

Appearance: Same skin tone as the Heir, hazel eyes, chestnut-brown hair pinned in golden filigree

Status: Queen

ROMANCEABLE? No

Elegant, sharp, and politically lethal. Lysandra rules with silk and steel. She knows her child’s heart better than anyone—but she also knows the court won’t spare it. She watches you closely. She may see more in you than you expect.

King Aldric Castellan — The Iron Crown

“Eden was not built on kindness. It will not be saved by it either.”

Age: Mid-40s

Appearance: Dark brown skin, steel-gray eyes, silver-streaked black hair, posture that never wavers

Status: King

ROMANCEABLE? No

A man forged by discipline and bound by legacy. The Trials were his solution—not to find love, but to preserve the crown. He speaks rarely, but when he does, the kingdom listens. Earn his respect, and you might shape history. Fail to, and you won’t even be remembered.

⸻

Selene — The Quiet Strength

“If the palace changes you, make sure you’re still someone I can be proud of.”

Age: Late 40s

Appearance: Same skin tone as MC, thick silver-streaked curls, tired hands and a steady gaze

Status: Commoner

ROMANCEABLE? No

Selene is your mother—and survival has always been her only ask.

She’s lived long enough to know what the world does to people who doesn't stay in their lane. Her love is steady, her words plain, and her worry never disguised. She doesn’t promise safety. She promises truth. And she'll never stop fighting to keep you safe.

⸻

Mira — The Firebrand Sister

“If they hurt you, I swear I’ll burn the castle down myself.”

Age: 16

Appearance: Same skin tone as MC, dark expressive eyes, long hair in a messy bun, combat boots and rebellion

Status: Commoner

ROMANCEABLE? No

Mira is your sister—your shadow and your spark.

She looks up to you more than she says, even when she’s teasing, even when she’s angry. Loud, loyal to a fault, and always ready to throw herself into a fight if it means protecting you.

CHAPTER 4 - PART 1

Hello!

We're dropping the start of Chapter 4 and moving forward with the main plot.

With the dating season now behind us, we know there are still some rough transitions between the “dates” in Chapter 3, and we'll come back to those later.

For MC's romancing Sieun or Seb, there's only a neutral path available.

This update adds roughly 20K words of new content, but the biggest portion goes toward major progress on the soulmate route.

I also finished writing all the possible outcomes for MC's sweet time with Mark during the “fishing trip.” That makes 7 different outcomes in total. It was a real headache. 🤯

I'd really appreciate bug reports because those fishing trip endings make this extra branchy.

CHAPTER 4 - PART 1

Enjoy!

Z

Needed to update the demo once more because choosing Mark as the main RO in Skip wasn’t working correctly. It only worked when the main RO was Prue/Rue. Fixed now.

There was a bug mixing the neutral path and the soulmate path. I didn't locate it yet, but made a workaround.

SECOND ACT.

demo (coming soon).

You die, and when you open your eyes, you’re on the edge of a cliff.

Somehow, the webnovel you were obsessed with in high school is your new reality. You’ve landed in the middle of a civil war, inhabiting the body of the story’s crown mage— the protagonist’s right hand and closest confidant. The mage, you realize, whose shoddily-written death in the middle of the story is what spurs the protagonist into winning the war. But there you are, unharmed on the night of your supposed murder. 

Everything derails from there. Nothing is as it seems, and this story is far more twisted than you had been led to believe. Despite the changes caused by your arrival, you think you still know how to reach the story’s fated ending, and you hold out hope that all you’ll have to do to make it out alive is fight a few little battles with your overpowered magic. 

(The thing is, you’re growing unsure about whether the ending you read is truly a happily ever after.)

Well, one way or another, you’re determined to reach an ending and get home. What kind of ending, and whether it matches destiny’s plans for you— that, you’ll figure out along the way. Good luck; plot armor can’t help you now.

SECOND ACT is meant for mature audiences only, containing themes of war and associated traumas, including but not limited to: violence, death, abuse, mental illness, psychological trauma, morally complex relationships, and self-harm. 

FEATURES.

Customize your MC’s appearance and personality. Figure out how to use your overpowered magic, and deal with the consequences of your continued existence in a world where you should be dead.

Bond with a cast of characters who are nothing like the characters you thought they were. Choose who to trust with your secrets in this world filled with ever-shifting allegiances and betrayals, or keep them all at arm’s length.

Use your meta-knowledge to survive and get ahead of the plot. (That is, if you think you can still trust what you know.)

Navigate a kingdom in the midst of a rebellion. You’re… probably on the right side of history. 

LOVE INTERESTS.

HAISEN. THE BARBARIAN. 

The war general taken prisoner after the fall of the island clans. The novel had never told you his name. All he had been was a cruel, brutish villain who existed to be disliked and discarded. So, when instead you meet a young man bound in chains, who watches you with quiet, intelligent eyes, you’re not sure what to think. He’s been put into your care, as a gift, but you’re not sure if you’re meant to tame him or kill him. (Or, perhaps, there’s a secret third option.)

AVELIENNEKA. THE SAINTESS.

Kind, lovely, and all things good, the beloved saintess of the Seraphian Church is the perfect love interest for the princely protagonist. At least, that’s what you believe, until the first time you speak to her alone. The saintess is a beautiful, malicious little lie, dripping in poisoned honey— a viper poised to strike. At whom, you’re unsure. Out the corner of your eye, though, you think you might catch a glimpse of something soft and rotten beneath all her venom.

ISORIN. THE GAMBLER.

The Royal Spymaster’s second life as an infamous tavern drunk (and part-time independent intelligence broker) is a secret you only know thanks to your… unique circumstances. He hides behind counted cards and hollow-ringing laughs;  you find yourself holding your cards closer to your chest whenever he’s around. There’s something electrifying about him that makes you want to pour out the darkest depths of your soul, and tear out every last truth of his in return.

KAINA. THE VILLAINESS. 

Your would-be murderer was an interesting character. The so-called villainess is barely present in the story, only existing to bring the main couple together through ridiculous schemes and cliche jealousy– and to kill you offscreen. But she wasn’t there at all, that night you woke up on the cliffside. The villainess you meet is far kinder to you than anyone else you’ve met so far. It worries you, how much this body trusts her. You don’t know whether to feel relieved, or far more worried about what she has in store.
