However, when her childhood friend declares his love for her, she knows the king will never allow their union.
Cyrus has loved Vara ever since her looked into her mischievous eyes as a child, and growing up together had not diminished his feelings at all.
But as the crown prince, he cannot marry the daughter of a servant and she refuses to become his lover and throw away her own future.
Ariane has always known her marriage would be an arranged one, but when she lays eyes on her new husband, the prince of the neighboring land, she immediately falls in love with him.
But if she had hoped her marriage would be a dream come true, it is a rude awakening when she realizes his heart belongs to someone else.
This is a story about love and duty and tangled lives. How jealousy can lead to betrayal and betrayal to tragedy.
But when love comes knocking at your door, it may not at all be as expected.
