The Cursed Prince and the Marking

The Cursed Prince. The Empire’s Strongest Ability User. And a curse that should never have been touched.

White hair. Pale skin. Blood-red eyes.

The third prince Muheun was born bearing the curse of the imperial family—a symbol of calamity feared by all. For most of his life, he was imprisoned in the Cold Palace, forgotten by the world.

Until the day the powerful Geonwon Empire conquered his kingdom.

Now, the abandoned prince has become a prisoner of the enemy—and is placed directly into the hands of Yoon, the empire’s most powerful ability user, who can freely control iron.

Muheun may be fragile, innocent, and strangely unpredictable.

But there is one thing the enemy empire has failed to understand:

The curse they fear may not be a curse at all.

And when Muheun deliberately touches Yoon with his own hands…

something begins to awaken.

Will Yoon become the victim of the Blood King’s curse—or the only person capable of breaking it?
