She swore she would never kneel to the man who destroyed her kingdom. Yet here she stands crowned by her enemy. King Damien Riego is feared across the lands. A ruler forged in war, with blood on his hands and ice in his veins. When he demands Princess Viella Morti as part of a peace treaty, the world believes it is nothing more than another act of cruelty. To Viella, he is the monster who brought her people to their knees. The king who stole her future. But nothing in his kingdom is as it seems. Secrets hide within castle walls. Lies are buried beneath the throne. And the line between hatred and desire grows thinner with every stolen glance and every whispered argument in the dark. In a court filled with enemies, betrayal is inevitable. The only question is will love destroy them first?

Thank you. • I had never seen myself consuming a type of love that would destroy me, that would capture my mind in the worst ways possible. Nevertheless, it did. It caught me like a mouse in a trap. Trapping me until all I could do was lay there helplessly until it soon drained my body of its all. It was never meant to be like this. I was never meant to be like this. But then again, when you meet the devil reincarnated? What else can you do but fall for his tricks?
