"You think I'm your enemy, yet here you are-holding my hand like it's the last thing you'll ever touch."
Princess Ilyria of Vaelthar has never wanted war. But when her kingdom, rich with salt mines and kindness, teeters on the edge of ruin after a brutal war, she is forced into a desperate bargain: marry Prince Kael of Drevain-the fierce warrior heir to an enemy throne. Bound by duty, trapped by tradition, Ilyria must walk the razor's edge between submission and survival.
As the marriage draws them closer, a fierce and forbidden passion ignites between them, tangled with secrets, betrayals, and the weight of two kingdoms' fate. But when another player from Ilyria's past reemerges-one who would kill to claim her and shatter the fragile peace-their world spirals into war once more.
Can Ilyria wield love as a weapon? Or will the brutal game of power consume them all?
