Rena was born with power-power meant for a ruler, stolen by a tyrant, and buried beneath a lifetime of lies. Branded a witch, hunted like prey, she has spent years hiding in the shadows, waiting for her chance at revenge. That chance comes when she lets herself be captured, intending to infiltrate the palace and kill the man who stole her mother's life. But she never expected to fall into the hands of Alex Ravon, the Blood Hound of Mysiri-merciless, unyielding, and the king's most loyal knight. Bound in chains, forced to travel beside the very man who would see her burned at the stake, Rena refuses to break. But Alex isn't interested in broken things. He wants to see her fight. To watch her struggle, to make her kneel. "For a witch, you're quite fragile." "And for a knight, you talk too much." She is his prisoner. He is her captor. But as the days stretch on and war looms in the distance, hatred twists into something far more dangerous. Because in this game of prey and predator, neither of them is willing to lose.

"I'm dirty," he muttered after another grueling day in the fields. "Then make me dirty," his new wife shot back, her voice a mix of defiance and invitation.

Now, he toils as a farmer in the quiet countryside, living a life far removed from the glittering world he once ruled. Forced into a marriage of convenience, he's met with a woman as fiery as she is mysterious. She challenges his pride, unearths his buried wounds, and stands as a force he never expected. But who is she really, and why does she carry secrets as heavy as his own? As the two battle their own demons, they must decide: will their unlikely bond rebuild their lives, or will the weight of their pasts break them apart forever? Discover a story of redemption, resilience, and unexpected love where second chances mean risking everything.
