    What if Poppy had been whisked away to the capital before Casteel was able to put a plan in place to steal her away?
    Forced into marriage with a man whose proclivity for violence and control makes Duke Teerman seem like a gentle lady-in-wait, Poppy is thrust into a life she never would have imagined - and faced with truths that have dismantled everything she had once believed to be fact.
    After her wedding, her ascension, and months of 'learning her place', her husband takes her to his homeland. Malik is determined to seize the throne - and the power that would be his as king - and is not above using Poppy's bloodline to secure it.
    But what he doesn't know is that his brother, Casteel, knows the cowering woman that follows him into the great hall in Evaemon. Even more than that, they share a connection that is usually reserved for fairy tales and legends.
    Casteel is determined to bring back the bold, daring woman that he had known in Masadonia, and he will stop at nothing to save her from the hell she had been sold into.
    Even if that means killing the brother he had once vowed to save.All Rights Reserved
