Y/n is a rare fox hybrid whose kingdom is destroyed during a brutal war. Captured by the victorious army, she is given to Prince Karl Draven, a feared and ruthless warlord known for being intelligent, cruel, and morally gray. Karl initially treats Y/n as a valuable prize rather than a person, keeping her under his control while claiming to protect her. Their relationship is filled with distrust, power struggles, jealousy, and intense attraction. He can be surprisingly gentle with her one moment and terrifyingly ruthless the next.
