Mocked and betrayed by her fiancé, General Vanea Reis did the unthinkable. She called off the wedding of the century in front of six thousand guests, choosing her dignity over a lie. She thought she was saving herself. She had no idea that single act of defiance had just sealed her fate.
As a battle-hardened commander, Vanea is brutally told she is too ruthless, too scarred, and too dangerous to ever be wanted by a man. Then, he stepped into her world.
Yulius Von Gareth. A 6'8", white-haired crown prince and the masked general of the Imperial Dark Army. He needs a wife of neutral origin and unbreakable iron will to survive the court's deadly politics. He expected a marriage of convenience. He never expected to discover his Vashti; his true match.
The connection is instantaneous. The pull is dangerously familiar. Despite a strict agreement to stay out of each other's lives, the boundaries melt. Their love isn't soft. It is charged, sharp, and constantly tested. As the lines between an arrangement and a real obsession blur, a deadly secret looms closer, threatening to tear the empire apart.
When the mask finally comes off, will they survive the fallout together, or will the darkness burn them both?
