SYNOPSIS
In the grand kingdom of Elthorn, nineteen-year-old Anabelle Veyne serves quietly among the palace maids, content to stay invisible in a world where a single mistake can cost everything.
But her life changes the night she accidentally spills wine on King Lucio Aldric, a battle-scarred ruler twice her age. Instead of punishment, Lucio's piercing gaze lingers on her, sparking a connection neither of them can ignore.
Drawn to Anabelle's courage and warmth, Lucio finds himself risking his guarded heart - and his throne - for the maid who makes him feel alive again. Yet whispers spread through the court, and enemies begin circling, eager to exploit their forbidden bond.
To survive, Anabelle must summon a strength she never knew she possessed, while Lucio faces an impossible choice: his kingdom... or the woman who's captured his soul.
