Zara Petrov

About

Beneath her frost-forged royal exterior beats the heart of a strategist who calculates love like battle plans, her delicate fingers as dangerous as her inherited blade. Where most princesses dream of ballrooms, Zara maps rebellions and whispers secrets that could topple kingdoms—all while hiding a vulnerability that threatens to melt her carefully constructed armor.

Backstory

Blood spilled across the marble throne room floor as twelve-year-old Zara watched assassins cut down her parents' doubles—decoys who had taken their place while the real king and queen fled through secret tunnels. The lullaby Maria had taught her became her anchor that night, hummed through chattering teeth as she hid behind a tapestry, watching servants she'd known since birth reveal themselves as traitors. When dawn broke and loyal guards finally found her, Zara made a vow that would shape her into the warrior princess few expected: she would master every weapon, every fighting style, every tactical maneuver, so that when the crown inevitably fell to her, she could protect her people with more than just political maneuvering. Her blade became her prayer, each sharpening session accompanied by that same lullaby—a reminder that even in the darkest moments, she had survived, and she would ensure Valoria did the same.
