Noire was not meant to survive the shipwreck. She was not meant to wash up on a Joseon shore, be branded as palace property, and survive the machinery of a court designed to erase her. She was certainly not meant to become something that Crown Prince Jaehyun could not stop thinking about. But survival has never cared about intention. What begins as dangerous proximity within the walls of a palace, where she is property and he is everything, slowly becomes something neither of them has language for, and neither can afford.
This is a slow-burning set inside a world that is gorgeous and brutal in equal measure, where love is not a comfort but a collision, and every step forward costs something real. Forbidden love. Palace intrigue.
