Coming soon to ao3
In a world where kings wield elemental powers, Louis XIV, the Sun-Forged Warrior, rules with a brutal, fiery hand, blinded by dominance. His brother, Philippe, a Glacier Knight branded "Daddy's favorite mistake," counters Louis's rage with unyielding ice and cold logic.
But the true storm is Charles II, a king of contained chaos who bears a terrible secret: at his father's command, he used his sharp winds to execute a rival as a boy, a trauma that still haunts him. His brother, James II, is a rock-bender whose every move is an insecure overcorrection for a painful past. This sibling rivalry is as fierce as the others, rooted in different forms of trauma.
Amidst this royal turmoil is Prince Rupert, a master of psychological warfare with the uncanny ability to talk to animals. His mind games are more dangerous than any elemental power.
As a young, reckless Isaac Newton experiments with the kings' elements, leaving him with a permanent scar, the fragile peace is shattered. Now, courtier John Wilmot, with his power to bend mercury, seeks to soothe Charles's stormy heart, while Charles's son, James Scott, searches for the metaphorical "rainbow behind every storm."
This is a story of sibling rivalry, deep-seated trauma, and the volatile nature of power. It's a world where fire and ice collide, where the quietest force can be the most destructive, and where the past is a brand that can never be erased.
