When the Cult of Nikador conquers your city and sacks your temple, you are captured by the Crown Prince of Kremnos and taken as his war prize.
(Or: The fall of Castrum Kremnos, as seen through the eyes of an oracle held captive by Prince Mydeimos.)
tags: romance, slow burn, enemies to lovers, hurt/comfort, concubinage, political drama, eventual smut. canon-adjacent (multiple timelines theory) with ancient greek historical and mythological references to inform world-building.
warnings: themes of war, sexual slavery, threats of sexual violence (none from mydei, all romance and sex with him is mutual)
nsfw content (starts in chapter 4/5): vanilla consensual sex but with tragic captor/slave dynamics rip, loss of virginity (on reader's end), corruption (on mydei's end; honourable man losing self-control etc), explicit tags TBD but trust they will be nasty
extended author's note with discussion of themes, characterization, canon lore and historical references, and character list for non-hsr readers.
