This is a tale of two countries finding peace; a tale of an emperor blinded by desperation, of how a team was put together to save these two countries from their doom.
The Queendom of Oshara seeks peace with its Athalian neighbor, but the tyrannic Emperor Sewale refuses to let Oshara flourish while his turns to sand. It will take more than usurping the emperor of a nation to return these countries to peace.

IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR, THE LAST THING THEY NEED IS SOMEONE SPREADING THE ENEMY AGENDA. When Lady Kuroki's esteemed students are dispatched to a house party in a faraway manor to root out a potential Meliquean spy, Lady Asteria Lu isn't sure what to expect. The guests are powerful and eccentric, but none of them seem traitorous. Besides, her friends are distracted: Danna by a fate she could no longer run from, Io by the only boy who'd ever seen through her cover. So a mess, really. Then comes a soldier who clearly knew more than he was pretending to, constantly getting in her way. Coincidence, or is he the very agent she's searching for? Maximilian Harlande's life was a good deal simpler before he became a spy. Certainly, back then, he wouldn't be caught dead running around a house party with a Novokulugan agent attached to his hip. But he has a mission to complete, and the cunning Lady Asteria Lu refuses to let him do his job in peace. Fine. So be it. May the best spy win.

As the middle child, she grew up in the shadows of neglect, surviving on silent compromises and unspoken loneliness. Yet despite everything, she believed in love. Not the fairytale kind.

And suddenly she became the wife of her best friend's elder brother... a man who looked at her like she was the ruin of his entire existence. The marriage she once dreamed of turned into a cage lined with silence, hatred, and broken promises.
