For generations, every Phoenix Lord has been destined to have one soulmate chosen by the gods. That soulmate is raised within the Temple of Flame from childhood, taught ancient traditions, etiquette, history, and everything required to become the perfect mate. Meeting before the Night of Ascension—the sacred full moon when their souls are officially bound—is strictly forbidden. Refusing to let fate decide every moment of their life, the player escapes the temple just days before the ceremony, hoping to experience freedom for the first time. A night at a bustling city bar changes everything. After accidentally bumping into a handsome stranger and nearly sharing a kiss, the player realizes the truth too late. The stranger isn’t just anyone. He’s Kieran—the Phoenix Lord they were destined to marry. Terrified, the player flees into the night and accepts a ride from someone who seems kind enough to help. It turns out to be a mistake. Before danger can claim them, blazing crimson flames tear through the darkness as the Phoenix Lord arrives, rescuing them with terrifying power. When the player awakens, they’re lying inside Kieran’s luxurious estate. The bedroom door is locked. Outside… The Phoenix Lord is waiting.
