Princess Seraphine de Moreau is the jewel of Erelath,
beautiful, warm, and beloved by all.
With long chocolate-brown curls, mismatched green-and-brown eyes, tan skin that glows like honey, and a smile that can halt a room, she is everything a future queen should be.
But beneath the silk gowns and gold jewelry lies a secret:
a prophecy written in blood.
When a political alliance forces her toward a marriage with a foreign prince, Seraphine finds her life narrowing into a gilded cage. Her only freedom is the palace gardens at night-
and the knight sworn to follow her.
Sir Cyprion de Valmont, a man shaped by tragedy and forged by battle, is as cold as iron and twice as unyielding. With jet-black curls, green eyes flecked with gold, and a presence that commands fear, he is the last person Seraphine expects to soften.
But fate gives her one look at him under moonlight...
and something in both of them shifts.
He was loyal but not royal.
He had the sword to protect her, but not the crown to have her.
Yet their stolen nights in the gardens blur the line between duty and desire. When Seraphine's engagement to another man is arranged, Cyprion is forced to stand aside-loyal to the crown, loyal to her, loyal to everything except his breaking heart.
And in the dark halls of the royal court,
a man watches Seraphine with a hunger far more dangerous than love.
As enemies rise, alliances crumble, and the prophecy awakens, Seraphine must choose between the world she was born to rule
and the man she was never meant to love.
A princess caged by destiny.
A knight imprisoned by loyalty.
A kingdom on the edge of ruin.
And a love powerful enough to unmake them both.
