In the kingdom of Valerith, power flows not through blood alone but through devotion-and the royal family has long taken that devotion for granted. Born into a line where love is a myth and ambition reigns supreme, Prince Dominic Azareth Valerius returns to claim what is rightfully his... unaware that his own power lies in the hands of Lady Ithara Maelis D'Aurelle, the daughter of a loyal duke, who has borne the burden of his stolen strength for years.
Ithara has mastered the power that isn't hers, surviving pain, isolation, and the manipulation of the crown, all while building a quiet, simmering hatred for the royals. But Dominic's return threatens to upend everything-her control, her hard-won mastery, and the delicate balance of the curse that binds them both.
Bound by duty, yet fueled by fury, Ithara must navigate the treacherous waters of court politics, royal expectations, and her own growing, conflicted feelings as she faces a prince she despises-and a destiny that may demand more than her powers alone can handle.
Love, hatred, and power collide in a world where every choice comes with a price, and the line between devotion and destruction is thinner than ever.
