Four prestigious families -- Shinomiya, Azuraya, Yumemiya, and Miyuzaki. All were determined to end a five-decade-old battle. But what if that battle is destined to end at the hands of three people? Shinomiya Kourin: the princess of the fallen Shinomiya clan, ruling it at the cost of destroying her identity and was forced to live in another. Yasuhara Seiichi: a boy who unknowingly holds the ultimate key for the Shrouded Flowers to win the battle. Raiden Wilford: a proficient sword wielder who holds the secret of a forgotten past. Three people... Three keepers of the greatest secrets... With fates unknowingly intertwined with each other, they found themselves entangled in a dangerous battle that will change their lives forever. But are they strong enough to withstand the wrath of the battle? Can they endure every pain that comes as they try to prevent the past from repeating itself? Can they prove themselves worthy and finally win? Or will it end tragically for the second time around? The battle rages on as the ultimate hunt for the Dark Rose begins...
OUR FIRST downfall was something I realized that fate had already written. It was unexpected; it nearly drove me over the edge of sanity. I lost them all and the clan's honor had fallen. The Knights were left defeated and torn by their failure.
But the light of hope never left me. It shines within me in its ever bright form. With that, I chose to continue the legacy. For I can't let it all fall and be buried forever.
Armed with a passionate heart that burns like the fire, together with an efficient mind that flows like the water, followed by a guiding will that blows like the wind, while nurturing the strength that thrives like the earth... All of us embarked on a long-overdue quest that leads to another danger.
It was a bloody journey dangerous enough to test us. But our willpower never swayed for the sake of our chosen paths.
However, I chose a path that destroyed my true existence. I decided to lead at the cost of my identity. One would think it was a pathetic choice. Others would hesitate to do the same for me. But my faith in them as their leader remains. In return, their loyalty to me stands firm. And now my decision would surely lead me to a new era.
But one unsuspected reunion changed everything.
Now the era I chose to create has slowly become a distant dream. And with the dark sky as my witness, I knew the battle would become more dangerous than ever.
But I won't stop, for I already made a choice. I would stand firm to it until I regained our lost honor. I vowed to become stronger and resolute to finish the journey. No deadly ancient prophecy or skilled enemies would ever stand in my way. I would fight whatever it takes... whatever happens.
For I am protected by the 12 Knights of the Sky.
I am Shinomiya Kourin, the princess of the Shinomiya clan.
I am the Shrouded Flowers' last hope.
I am... the Last Sky of the Earth...

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
"Carroll Brown is dead! But you have to marry him in your sister's name." My mother said to me in a cold tone. My sister was engaged to the hottest billionaire. It should have been a perfect marriage. Unexpectedly, Carroll was dead in an accident. My sister didn't want to become a widow, so she forced me to marry her dead fiance. And I had no right to refuse her. Actually, I was the biological daughter of the Smith family. My sister was an adoptive one. My sister and I had been swapped at the hospital when we were just born. My parents had already had a deep relationship with her. So they chose to sacrifice me. On the wedding day, I was taken to the mourning hall. "Ma'am, please keep Master company and let him feel warm." The housekeeper said with a cold expression. I couldn't help but look up at the portrait above the coffin, and my heart skipped a beat at this glance. The man in the portrait was more handsome than the superstars in Hollywood. Carroll Brown? My dead husband? Wow, he was really handsome! I didn't know how long had passed when my stomach began to rebel. After one glance at the coffin, I swallowed my saliva and then begged with my fingers crossed. "Mr. Carroll, I'm starving! May I eat your pastries? You don't mind, do you?" "I do." "Ah!" Scared, I broke out in a cold sweat. My legs went limp, and I fell to the ground. I shouted, "Ghost!" Carroll curled his lips, leaned over, and touched the black coffin. "Mr. Carroll has risen from the dead. What do you think of this headline tomorrow?"
Mia's life is spiraling out of control. Abandoned by her mother, bullied mercilessly at school, and thrown into a household of four dangerously attractive stepbrothers, she's desperate to find her footing. "You look absolutely edible," Sean growled, his eyes devouring her. Mia felt a rush of heat between her thighs "Oh, you think so?" she purred, turning to face him. She reached out and traced her fingers along the ribbon that wrapped around his waist. "Well, I've been waiting for this all day. And I'm starving." Sean's smile grew into a predatory grin. "Then let us feast," he said, and in a flash, the ribbon fell away, exposing his rock-hard length. He stepped closer, and Mia felt the warmth of his breath on her face as he whispered, "You're going to take every inch of us tonight, aren't you?" With Rolex's teasing smirk and Sean's quiet, hot stares, Mia doesn't know where to turn-or who to trust. Every glance, every touch leaves her breathless, confused, and craving more than she should. Will Mia survive their games, or will she lose herself in a dangerous world of secrets, seduction, and forbidden desire? One house. Four brothers. Endless temptation.
