In a world teetering on the edge of war, alliances are no longer a matter of choice - they are for survival.
Harper Monroe never intended to become a bargaining piece in someone else's political game, but when an arranged marriage is forced upon her, she's left with no room to refuse. Her future is sealed to Mattheo Riddle - who is cold, controlled, and infamous in certain wizarding circles for all the wrong reasons.
Mattheo has never had any interest in loyalty, marriage, or the fragile peace the wizarding world is desperately trying to maintain. He sees the arrangement for what it is: a chain disguised as diplomacy. And Harper? She was just another complication he refuses to accept.
From the moment they became bound together, neither of them decided to back down.
As war begins to spread and old enemies resurface, Harper and Mattheo are thrust into a collapsing world of shifting loyalties, hidden agendas, and dangerous magic. Forced to stand on the same side while refusing to trust each other, they navigate battles on both the battlefield and within their own walls.
But hatred, especially the kind born under pressure and proximity, has a way of changing shape.
What begins as resentment slowly twists into something far more volatile - something neither of them can control, deny, or fully escape.
Because in a world where everyone is lying and nothing is certain, Harper and Mattheo discover the most dangerous truth of all:
The only thing worse than being trapped in an arranged marriage they never wanted in the first place... is realising that they might not hate it as much as they thought they would.
