Ethea, who escaped from a brutal hound training facility, encounters Akers, who had been living a peaceful life, and is given a second chance at living. To conceal her true identity, she lives as his younger sister in this Ivresia kingdom. But when war and political conflict sweep them away, they lose everything—until they are left with nothing but each other. Yet even after the war ends, countless struggles of reality and the lingering shadows of an unforgettable past continue to stand in their way. Can the two of them overcome it all, and finally build a life of their own?

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 50–149 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views over the recent window.
