I was bred to obey. I obeyed when they gave me to a man I barely knew. I obeyed when my cousin took my husband's bed. I obeyed when I carried his child. Then he burned me alive. I woke up months before my death. Same husband. Same traitors. But I remember everything they're going to do to me. Meet Caelan Vorenthal. My husband's greatest rival. The most dangerous man at court. The only one who saw the truth when everyone else stayed silent. Now he's offering protection. Alliance. And something neither of us expected.
