Tamed Hearts

When a hardened underground fighter dies saving a child, she awakens in another world as Princess Seraphina of Solaria—on the very day she is forced into a political marriage meant to stop a war. Bound to a Beastman king and watched by rival factions, her rebirth ignites ancient fire magic and threatens the fragile peace. In a court where power matters more than truth, survival means learning the rules before they break you.

Seraphina Aurelle is no sheltered royal. Carrying the instincts of a fighter and the weight of a crown she never chose, she faces her new life with discipline, grit, and quiet defiance. Though reborn with phoenix fire at her command, she trusts her fists and her mind more than magic, determined to protect what she can—even when the cost is herself.

King Kael Draven rules not through cruelty, but control. As a lion beastman bound by duty to his people, he enters the marriage for peace, not sentiment. Calm, imposing, and endlessly scrutinized, Kael must balance strength with restraint—especially as the woman bound to his crown proves far more dangerous, and far more human, than he ever expected.
