In the Kingdom of Arogon, power and fear are inseparable. Royer de Hein, the Crown Prince, is feared as “The Cruel Prince”: handsome, ruthless, and unmatched in swordsmanship and strategy. Even nobles and dukes bend to his will. His loyal cousin, Raylan de Hein, is a disciplined strategist and master swordsman, always by his side.
Far to the north, Roseline Astral, daughter of a powerful Duke, wields her sword with unmatched grace and cleverness. Mischievous, playful, and brave, she has spent her life perfecting her skills—alongside her spirited younger sister, Jenny Astral, who hides unexpected courage behind her innocent charm.
When a political summons brings the Northern Duchy into the heart of Arogon, Royer and Raylan have never seen these two sisters before. The first encounter sparks curiosity, caution, and the unspoken tension of two worlds colliding. Loyalties will be tested, secrets will surface, and the deadly dance of swords and strategy begins, with unexpected hearts caught in the crossfire.
“Lotus and Steel” is a tale of power, courage, and forbidden connections—a story where innocence meets ruthlessness, and destinies are forged in both fire and steel.
