The Lang Clan can never be inconspicuous in the cultivation world. There was always a thing or two that one would at least find as different about them. There were boisterous people, loud in the manner, and spoke their minds without restraint. There were violent, belligerent, and expressive through body language. They condone all types of love. Their values, principles, and foundations in life are so in contrast with the rest of the cultivation world's that they are considered not less than foreigners. They indeed have come a long way to be so, handed from colonizers to colonizers. At page's end, they became a collection and mirage of their capturer's essence.
Even though their reputation is along unfavorable ends, they are one of the strongest sect in the cultivation world. From the Grandmaster himself, unto the following leaders: the Lang Clan has always brought victories, wonders, and awe. However, the highest rise and the greatest of this Clan was not far away from each other, separated by eons, but rather within a person's lifetime. Was the 7th Generation of the Lang clan a curse or blessing, to have brought two occurrences that changed history?
Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong?
***
It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed.
Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out?
Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires.
