One night. One mistake. One heir to the throne. Alina Evercrest is the youngest and only daughter of a noble house-kind, sharp-eyed, and devoted to a life far from royal intrigue. But after her coming-of-age celebration at the palace ends with her waking in the Crown Prince's bed, everything changes. Especially when whispers start, and her monthly cycle doesn't come. Prince Caelum is feared across the realm-lethal in war, ruthless in court, and entirely untouchable. He never intended to be tied down, especially not to the soft-hearted noble girl who's too clever for her own good. But the night they shared wasn't a scandal. It was fate. As tensions rise and enemies circle, Alina is thrust into the heart of royal power, where secrets burn and trust is rare. But she's not just surviving-she's outsmarting, outshining, and unshakably loyal to the man the world calls a monster... yet who worships her in the quiet. When love deepens, so does the danger. Because in a world built on bloodlines, politics, and power, nothing is safe-not even the child they never meant to create. He would kill for her. She would fight kingdoms for him. Together, they'll burn the old world to build their own.
