Kira & Zakarin.png

Kira of the Red Swarm

 

The heart of the storm—wild, radiant, and rooted in the pulse of the earth.


Raised without access to her magic and the belonging she deserved, Kira is a caretaker of beasts and the jungle’s quiet protector. She’s fierce in love, reckless in sacrifice, and more dangerous than she knows. Her power could save Arden... or burn it to ash.

Zakarin of House Gabriel

 

A blade honed by survival—sharp, controlled, and tragically protective.


He was forged in shadows, a weapon crafted by the Genesis and scarred by his past. Zakarin hides behind tactics and silence, his heart armored in guilt and cold precision. But when he meets Kira, everything cracks.

Together

 

Fire and shadow. Storm and steel.


Kira and Zakarin are opposites bound by fate, trapped by those who fear them and drawn to the very magic that could destroy them. Their love is messy, raw, and real—fueled by scars and second chances. Together, they might save the world of Arden. But first, they’ll have to survive each other.

“Let them whisper. Let them dismiss her. She’d carve her own place, whether they gave it to her or not.”

Him

“Freedom. A leash loosened was still a leash. A knife tucked away was still a blade waiting for flesh.”

The Prophecy

​Gaia, the heart of life’s embrace,
Her roots entwined in Arden’s grace.
Balance she wields, both life and decay,
A guardian to light the Phoenix’s way.

The Phoenix soars, from ash to flame,
A blazing herald in Arden’s name.
Through Gaia’s will, the forests rise,
Their verdant strength a shield, a guise.
From fire’s rebirth to life anew,
The Phoenix burns, a guiding hue.
