Liora Ravella was born with a noble name, yet she grew up imprisoned by it.
Within the Ravella estate, cruelty wore silk. Her stepmother, Isadora, and her stepsister, Seraphina, turned her days into quiet torment, while the servants learned to look away. Every corridor held a memory she wished to erase. Every night, she slept knowing tomorrow would be no different.
Until she made a choice no one expected.
When a marriage offer arrives from a man the world fears, a man whispered about as a monster, Liora does not hesitate. She reaches for it herself. Not out of hope. Not out of love. But to survive.
This marriage is not a rescue.
It is an escape.
But trading one cage for another is a gamble, and Liora knows it. The hand she takes may lead her to freedom, or to a darkness far worse than the hell she leaves behind.
Can she truly escape her fate?
Or has she simply chosen a different kind of nightmare?
