As a total nerd for historical deep cuts, I’ve scoured archives trying to pin Reymond to a real person. No exact matches, but boy does he channel the vibe of 16th-century occultists. Think John Dee scribbling angelic languages or Cornelius Agrippa’s controversial writings. Reymond’s theatrical flair reminds me of Cagliostro, that infamous 18th-century 'magician' who swindled aristocrats with fake elixirs. History’s full of charismatic frauds and genuine mad scientists—Reymond feels like a cocktail of both. What’s brilliant is how his story lets us explore themes of power and morality without being limited by actual events.
Reymond’s backstory always struck me as a love letter to history’s gray areas. No direct real-world counterpart, but he embodies the era where alchemy bled into chemistry and ethics crumbled under ambition. I picture him alongside figures like Basil Valentine, the mysterious author whose violent experiments with antimony horrified readers. Real or not, Reymond’s legacy is his humanity—flawed, furious, and utterly fascinating.
Ever notice how fictional characters feel real when they tap into historical archetypes? Reymond’s genius—and his flaws—resonate because we’ve met versions of him before. Not a carbon copy, but a mosaic. His relentless drive mirrors Leonardo da Vinci’s notebooks, crammed with unfinished inventions. His darker side? Maybe a sprinkle of Gilles de Rais, the wealthy knight-turned-monster. What’s compelling is how his narrative toys with 'what if?'—what if a brilliant mind crossed every ethical line? That tension makes him more gripping than any textbook figure.
Reymond? Oh, that name sparks so many debates among lore enthusiasts! From what I've dug into, he doesn't seem to directly mirror a single historical figure, but there are fascinating parallels. Some argue he borrows traits from medieval alchemists like Paracelsus—obsessed with transformation and hidden knowledge. Others see shades of Renaissance polymaths, those restless minds who blurred lines between science and magic. I love how fiction remixes history; it’s like finding echoes of real people in a funhouse mirror.
One thing’s certain: creators often stitch together inspirations. Maybe Reymond’s arrogance echoes Cardinal Richelieu’s political cunning, or his experiments nod to Dr. Faustus’ doomed ambition. The ambiguity makes him richer—you can project layers onto him. Personally, I prefer characters who feel inspired by history rather than chained to it. It leaves room for wild speculation, and isn’t that half the fun?

But the universe has other plans.
Torn from the loving embrace of her mate, and leaving her children behind, Carnelia is forced into slavery by her twisted sisters Lyra, Cosima, and Nova, who use her as a weapon to defeat the dragons who have enslaved their people and killed their parents--Primus' kingdom! Hated as a traitor to her people, Carnelia's life becomes irreversibly changed when she is placed on the Southern throne as the Sun Queen, the sworn enemy of her mate's nation.
Difficult choices await her as she and her prince as they find themselves in separate parts of the world on opposite sides of a brewing war.
But despite the odds, a love like theirs cannot be denied. Even if it means burning down the world to bring them back together again.
THIS IS THE THIRD and FINAL BOOK in the DRAGON PRINCE series which also includes "Sacrificed to The Dragon Prince" and "Reclaiming My Beloved Dragon Prince" .
No one has seen him,
No one can tell what he looks like,
No one can tell if he's human, wolf, dragon, elf or vampire.
We've only heard his very deep, hoarse voice that doesn't sound so humanly.
We only know he's a ruthless beast,
And that beast is the king of all supernatural creatures -he is King Wymond.
He is an abomination -a mistake made by the moon goddess.
There are rumors that he is immortal -are there still any immortals in this age?
He walks the lands every night and kills any soul that crosses path with him or it,
He never lets anyone see him and doesn't attend public meetings.
He's always inside his palace, with those two big gates locking him away and isolating him from the world.
Weird!
How did he ended up becoming the king then?
Every five years, girls who have come of age (18years to 25years), from different species (werewolves, vampires, witches, elves and dragons) are taken to his palace.
We don't know why they are taken there,
And we dare not ask why, because asking why is death penalty.
And strangely, all the girls taken to the palace always come back alive, but they end up losing their memories of what had happened in there.
No one has enough courage to investigate and find out what's going on -investigating is like walking into the valley of death.
These are stories my grandma always told me when I was a kid, I don't know if they are real or if she was saying those things just to scare me.
But I still couldn't help but wonder if it's true,
Why does those girls end up losing their memories?
Could there be a deep secret behind those closed, big gates?
After failing my mission, the system sent me back to the modern world and stripped away all my emotions.
But three years later, alarms suddenly blared through my mind as the system went into a frenzy.
The system told me that Adrian Blackwood, the Regent I failed to win over, had gone mad.
He bathed the royal court in blood and was determined to drag the entire Kingdom of Ashbourne into ruin. The only thing keeping him going was his obsession with seeing me one more time.
I refused immediately.
He had already ruined my life. Why should I go back and save him?
The system grew so desperate that it started glitching. In the end, it offered me a blood-bound contract: if I agreed to return, all penalties would be erased.
On top of that, it would give me a fortune large enough to let me live comfortably for the rest of my life.
After weighing the pros and cons, I agreed.
But when the emotionless version of me stood before Adrian once again, the Regent who held the entire kingdom in his grasp dropped to his knees at my feet.

After running afoul of a vengeful former lover, an 18th-century aristocratic artist finds himself on the receiving end of a cruel and never-ending curse. Doomed for all eternity to rome the world as a savage beast every full moon and never see an end to his miserable life, distant and embittered he struggles with the nature of his own humanity in the ensuing years and the many women who had taken it upon themselves to love him despite his apparent curse even with little good their influence had on him following a series of tragic ends.
Reymond's character is such a fascinating gray area in the books! At first glance, he comes off as this power-hungry manipulator, especially with how he clashes with other key figures. But the more I reread his scenes, the more I pick up on his twisted logic—he genuinely believes he’s upholding order, even if his methods are brutal. The way the narrative frames his choices makes you wonder if he’s a villain or just a tragically misguided hardliner.
What really stuck with me was his dynamic with the protagonist. Their ideological battles aren’t just black-and-white; they’re layered with history and conflicting loyalties. The books never outright label him as pure evil, which is why debates about him still pop up in fan forums years later. Personally, I love how his arc forces readers to question how far 'for the greater good' can justify cruelty.
Reymond's death was one of those moments that left me staring at the screen, utterly speechless. The way it unfolded wasn't just shocking—it felt like a narrative gut punch. In the series, he's betrayed by someone he trusted deeply, and the scene plays out in this slow, agonizing build. The tension is thick, and you can almost feel the dread creeping in. What got me was the symbolism: his downfall mirrored his own arrogance, a poetic justice that the show executed perfectly. The aftermath was just as impactful, with other characters reacting in ways that showed how divisive his presence had been. It’s rare for a death to feel both inevitable and surprising, but they nailed it.
I still think about how the soundtrack dropped out right before the final blow, leaving nothing but silence. That detail stuck with me. It wasn’t just about the act itself but how the show made you feel the weight of it. Reymond’s death wasn’t just a plot point; it reshaped the entire dynamic of the story moving forward. Even now, I get chills remembering how his last words were cut off mid-sentence—like the show refused to give him closure, which was kind of brilliant.
Reymon's got a bit of a mysterious vibe, doesn’t he? I’ve been deep in discussions about whether he’s rooted in a book or if he sprang fully formed from someone’s imagination. From what I’ve gathered, he seems to be an original character, crafted with a lot of care to stand on his own. There’s no direct link to any existing novel or literary work that I’ve stumbled upon, which makes him even more intriguing. The creators poured a lot into his backstory, giving him layers that feel fresh yet familiar in the best way.
What’s cool is how Reymon’s design and personality echo classic archetypes without being tied to a specific source. His struggles, quirks, and growth arcs feel organic, like he was always meant to exist in his current form. Sometimes original characters hit harder because they aren’t constrained by pre-existing material. They can surprise you, and Reymon’s no exception—he’s got that unpredictable energy that keeps fans hooked. I love how his story unfolds without the baggage of adaptation expectations; it’s pure creativity at work.
