“May the Black Rose
protect you in life and avenge you in death.” – Vow of the Black Rose
Six hundred years
ago, the Muir Court was wiped from existence, destroyed by an elite group known
as the Black Rose Guard. Their Captain, Mara, has a reputation of being a harsh
woman who leads the guard with a fierce formality. During her long years, she
has known pain, loss, heartache…and one great love.
Edward was the
Captain of the Royal Guard. He loved her once. However, it was a love that
faded the day he met young Liza, the Princess who stole the heart he had once
sworn belonged to Mara alone. Liza was also the woman that Mara was fated to
protect. When the Queen learns of her daughter’s forbidden love for Edward, she
devises a series of punishments, torturing Edward while her daughter is forced
to watch. In a an act of desperation, Mara takes Liza’s place and looks on
helplessly as Edward endures the torments which break his body and Mara’s soul.
All of their pain
is put aside when Liza is murdered by the rulers of a rival court. Haunted by
her failure to protect the Princess and adhering to tradition, Mara takes the
vow of the ‘Black Rose.’ It is an ancient oath which ties those under its power
to abandon the lives they knew for the sake of a single goal: vengeance. Her
quest leads her on a dark path of violence, rage and bloodshed.
Tormented by a fate they can neither accept nor escape, Black Rose is a
tale of retribution, love, and above all, honor—at any cost.
