A new, completely standalone story set in the world created in the Royals of Harta series.
---
I know my father desires Dame Elessia, our House’s famous spellblade and the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes upon. Fortunately, he doesn’t know that I possess the same feelings for her.
She practically raised me, yet I can’t help but see her as a woman first. It’s been three years since my sorcerous talent revealed itself, since I left for Granmore Academy in the hopes of turning such raw talent into honed skill. I’m returning home at long last, with a plan in the works to claim the woman of my dreams.
I know it won’t be simple, especially since I first plan to finally defeat her in a competition we've participated in dozens of times – one in which I’ve lost every single time – since I was just a boy. But I’ve planned and prepared for this day, for a victory three years in the making.
How could I have known I’d underestimate more than just Elessia’s abilities?
-----
This is the sordid, explicit story of a young lord determined to first win against, then win over, the woman of his dreams. She might have a thing or two to say about that, however.
