Tw: this book will have the themes of death and the stages of grief along with discrimination and betrothal (One being patroled to another without ones consent or desire to be patroled on both sides is a bad thing and that's a subject that is covered in this book). There will also be mentions of gore, violence, there will be slur usage (I shall sensor said slurs but they have to be used considering time period) And overbearing religion will play parts in this book. If you are sensitive to any of the topics mention, I recommend you don't read this book. Despite these themes I don't think I'll label this book as mature unlike the broken series, as this is meant to be tackling them in a way of helping cope and push past these things, along with heading through the stages of grief, but as I said before if you are sensitive to any of these topics please do not read the book.

It was a Sunny day in the kingdom of Chirin, As the birds were chirping prince Ivan rushed into the garden chasing what he believed to be a dragon in the sky carrying off his dear sister. "RAVEN! DONOT WORRY DEAR SISTER! I SHALL SAVE YOU!!"
...
No reply was given from the princess in the dragons claws. Ivan could only assume the worst as he grabbed his sword & hopped on his dark horse Starling. With a determined look in his eyes he rode out of the palace, ignoring the cries of maids & butlers trying to stop him. 'WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO OUR PEOPLE! THEIR FUTURE QUEEN WAS JUST KIDNAPPED! I NEED TO SAVE HER!' Prince Ivan thought to himself, he'd never think that they'd be so selfish as to try & stop someone from saving the next in line to the crown.

After what felt like days of writing, Ivan eventually reached the cave that the water breathing beast called home. He took one deep breath clutching the sword he carried with him & entered the beasts domain, not prepared for what he would learn that day. As he explored the cavern, he had sent something bad happened, but eventually, he found the beast the had stolen his sister.

Prince Ivan approached the enormous beast, only to feel a wave of Déjà vu flush over him, as he looked at the beast it gave him a concerned look. "Your majesty, what are you doing here?" "RELEASE MY SISTER AT ONCE!" the prince cried out, only to have his world shattered. "I'm sorry, but princess Raven perished in this cave a year ago... I'm sorry for your loss young prince." The blue scaled beast said, descending from his perch to comfort Ivan, who was now in tears..

'No, nononono! This is all a dream! This can't be happening!' The prince thought to himself, However he noticed details that were never familiar from when he first entered the beast still main long ago, from when it would attack him with malicious intent, instead of the barren fall to sharp stalagmites, deep hits and Kasm's were now filled with water.. slowly memories of the day began to return to Ivan

The dragon had kidnapped his sister on the day she was to be betrothed to the ones who loved her very much, and the night who had promised her had set off to Vanquish the dragon, only to come back carrying the body of Princess Raven, her Golden silk hair and her pristine white dress soaked in her own blood, across her stomach was a wound only a sweat can make, while her chest appeared to have been impaled by what could only have been one of the stalagmites in the beasts cavern. " your majesty's, I am sorry to inform you but, I am the cause of your daughters demise. I shall lock myself away in the dungeons for this crime. I do hope to eventually see credentialing in the eyes of the church, and the kingdom." Sir Powel of the Spring sad, a solemn look in his eyes as he laid the princess down on the ground in front of her family, escorting himself to the dungeons as his punishment. And a small pool of blood head began to form under her as I even sprinted towards her "SISTER! RAVEN NO! PLEASE WAKE UP! PLEASE I CANNOT LOOSE YOU, NOT LIKE THIS!" Ivan shouted in vain, in some hope to awaken his sister from her permanent coma. His emerald eyes welled with tears at the realization she did never awaken. "no, nononono!" He said to himself, watching as doctors had come forward to carry the body of the former princess to the Hearst where she would be brought to the royal graveyard & buried on a hill of her choice from when she was alive.

"You shouldn't be here your majesty, your kingdom is beginning to worry about you. You've been coming here every day since her death, believing I have kidnapped her for the first time.. you have to learn to rule your kingdom" The dragon said, escorting the prince to his steed. As Ivan rode back home, he could only let what the dragon said sinking, he had been heading to the den each day after his sisters death in belief that he could save her. He knew he had to accept her death, however, he just couldn't. He couldn't believe his sister had perished on the day of her wedding. The day she was to become queen.
