The twin gods of love and war never understood each other. After all, they had nothing in common. Love was tender, gentle, devotional, war was vicious, hungry, and violent. They lives knowing they would likely never understand one another. Until Prince Serene. Serene, the prince of Aurora, had been known far and wide for his beauty and kindness. Serene was Charis’s, the goddess of love, favorite as everyone who ever saw him had fallen in love, and that was right in her domain. What she did not know was that Serene was not raised as a normal prince. You see, his older brother Althe, was being raised to become king while Serene was being raised to be a “war bride.” War brides were children married off to different royal families in order to create alliances however they were not considered as actual brides, they were political tools, meaning someone could have multiple war brides alongside an actual queen. War brides were often used for pleasure and as a symbol for power. And soon, Serene was going to be married to the heir to the Kingdom of Colegee. Then, Nikoros, god of war, finds Serene. And through some miracle, Nikoros falls in love. He learns tenderness, adoration, and love from a single mortal prince, and suddenly his hunger for blood and victory doesnt seem so important, he finally understands his sister. But, after falling in love with Nikoros, Serene starts realizing he has the ability to live his own life and refuses to become a war bride, causing Colegee to go to war with Aurora as the prince comes looking for his promises bride. Suddenly, Charis watches how love can be just as cruel as war. She finally understands her brother. Now the two gods, who both love a mortal, must come to terms with the fact they may not be as different as thy thought as they watch tragedy, toxic obsession, softness, love, and war unfold before their very eyes.
