Tainted Rose

Synopsis

I failed . . . My name is Ryder Carter, future heir of Realm Five, Minato. I was destined to do great things, to walk alongside my fellow star knights, as we desperately searched for the woman who would lead our galaxy to salvation. My spirit and I had failed her once, unable to prevent the chain of events and challenges she'd faced for sixteen cycles. Then, we finally found her—alive. Within two rotations, she'd blossomed into a beautiful rose—such delicate petals, filled with purity and life. My mission was to guide her home, to where she truly belonged, as our Princess and saviour from the approaching darkness. She was more than just our Princess; I loved her with all my heart. But . . . I failed. My once perfect rose, damaged by my failures. Would she ever forgive me, her star knight who'd sworn to protect her? Will I ever get the chance to tell her how much she means to me . . . to us? Only the Starlight gods can tell. Please . . . bring my Firefly home.
