    Summary

    Part I: The Duke and His Friend Violet
    During a tense diplomatic visit to Calldyr, Duke Fen Riorson encounters a curious child—Violet Sorrengail, the youngest daughter of his rival general. Frail in body but fierce in mind, she disarms him with her unfiltered honesty and impossible hope. In her laughter, he finds something he thought he’d lost: light. But fate is not kind to dreamers, and even friendship can be a dangerous thing for a man bound by duty and war.

    Part II: The Little Duke and Duchess
    Fen wakes in Calldyr to the echo of a nightmare—one that felt too real to dismiss. Was it memory, prophecy… or a message from the goddess Amari herself?

    Determined to change the fate he’s seen, Fen takes a different path—one where his son will not inherit pain, but the chance for something purer. He dares to imagine a world where ten-year-old Xaden Riorson meets eight-year-old Violet Sorrengail not as strangers divided by politics, but as children bound by something timeless.

    But destiny is never simple. When the little duke and the little duchess finally meet, what begins as innocence may ignite the kind of spark that reshapes legacies.
