She was born with a mark of fate,
A child of destiny, a child of grace,
She had a mission to fulfill,
A curse to break, a void to fill.
She travelled to Dwarpar Yug,
A time of war, a time of blood,
She met the heroes and the villains,
She saw the glory and the ruins.
She changed the course of history,
She altered fate with mystery,
She saved the lives of many souls,
She healed the wounds of many holes.
She was the girl who defied time,
She was the girl who crossed the line,
She was the girl who made a difference,
She was the girl who had a purpose.
She was the girl who faced the challenges,
She was the girl who took the chances,
She was the girl who fulfilled her destiny,
She was the girl who had time travelled to Dwarpar to bring changes.
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.
