In the morbid lands of Mirai, where magic flows in the veins of its inhabitants, Lasya Varvasra was born an oddity. The eldest princess of the Varvasra Dynasty lacks any magical power, rendering her unfit to rule. Stripped from her birthright, the princess craves vengeance. The empire is hers and she will claim it, no matter how many throats she has to slit and how many lies she has to spin. To do so, she seeks help from The Knight Circle, a criminal group that terrorizes the empire's capital. She enters a fake courtship with its leader, Tom Riddle, a man of guileful charm and chicanery. She invites the knights to her home to kill everyone who stands between her and her throne. For Lasya, Tom is another stepping stone she has to smother beneath her feet to become the empress. Little does she know he has ambitions far more daunting than hers. F!OC X TOM RIDDLE 2023 © seliasinner
