    Summary

    In the Imperial Palace, William was trained to obey.
    Terrified of the ancient, dormant power sleeping within him, the Crown reduced him to a plaything and stripped him of his dignity.
    William knew better than to hope for mercy, learning early on that survival required complete submission.

    He never expected his fate to collide with Captain Michael.

    Driven by a bitter hatred for the Crown, the very empire that stripped him of his family and condemned him to a life of violence, the infamous pirate infiltrates the palace for a high-stakes heist.

    But when their paths cross in the dark, a single choice alters the course of both their lives.

    A dark fairytale about shackled princes and tormented captains.
    About freedom, healing, and the long road to reclaiming oneself—where two damaged souls navigate the fragile line between trauma and trust, guided by a devotion worth fighting the entire ocean for.

    Note: This is a very long, highly detailed, and slow-burn story.
    It is fully illustrated by me and an incredible team of volunteer artists—100% hand-drawn

    Prompt: "I'll show you the world, my dear prince."
