Destiny does not ask whom you love. It asks whom you are willing to lose.
Bound by blood and forged by devotion, sisters Mina and Spring have always faced the world together. But as Avelare's fragile peace begins to unravel, the paths laid before them threaten to pull them irreversibly apart. Mina, poised at the threshold of ascendance, is drawn ever deeper into the machinery of power-where prophecy sharpens into command and love becomes a liability. Each step toward her destined role distances her from the family that anchors her and from the new bonds she would protect at any cost. Spring, fierce and grounded in her calling as a Beast Warden, feels destiny tug her in the opposite direction-toward a future that demands she choose between the life she has built and the one she is being shaped to defend. Her growing love promises solace, yet even it may not survive the trials looming ahead. In neighboring Kirin, Chae-a man of duty, conviction, and formidable will-walks a parallel path. Like Mina, he is bound to power, belief, and the crushing weight of expectation. Like Mina, he believes himself chosen. And like Mina, he is willing to sacrifice love and blood alike to secure the future he believes his people deserve-even if history names him a villain for it. As Coerdom and Kirin drift toward open conflict, sisters, seers, and sorcerers are forced to reckon with an unforgiving truth: destiny is not a single road, but a blade that cuts away all who dare to follow. In Cousins of Conflict, loyalty is tested, love is strained, and the bonds that once defined family become the very fault lines upon which empires will break.
