Who is the hero of a story?
---
At the edge of the world, a man stands over a corpse and wonders if everything is finally over.
He was never meant to be the hero.
She was.
Years earlier, Princess Irene would have laughed at the idea.
Reckless, stubborn, and far too eager to punch monsters in the face, she spends more time causing trouble than preparing to rule a kingdom.
Her bodyguard Gregor knows two things:
Irene will never listen to warnings.
One day her choices might change the fate of the world.
What begins as a simple trip outside the capital quickly turns into something far more dangerous.
Monsters lurk in the forests.
Old treaties hide uncomfortable truths.
And some stories don't belong to the hero everyone expects.
Because sometimes...
the person who saves the world
is the one nobody believed in.
