In the ruthless Ilminy Empire, Stefan is no ordinary girl-she's a sharp-tongued survivor who's learned that trust is a luxury she can't afford. Born in the shadows of a corrupt kingdom, she dreams not of freedom... but revenge. Her plan? To steal the Emperor's most prized possession: the legendary Amethyst Crystal.
But when her mission fails, Stefan is captured and dragged into the house of the one she hates the most.
There, she meets the Emperor: young, feared, and dangerously unpredictable. With silver-white hair and bloody eyes , he rules with an iron will and a tormented heart. Seeing an opportunity to solve a political crisis, he forces Stefan into a fake marriage, disguising her as a noblewoman-his Empress.
Now a prisoner in silks, Stefan finds herself trapped in a gilded cage, surrounded by luxury, danger, and courtly lies. She's determined to resist him, but desire doesn't obey rules. What begins as hate and manipulation soon spirals into a dark, intoxicating obsession.
As secrets unfold, enemies close in, and jealousy burns, the Emperor must confront what he truly feels for the woman he was supposed to break-and Stefan must decide if love is a greater risk than revenge
