"While saving her, they were forced into the pious bond of marriage."
The girl who had always despised the very notion of 'marriage', found herself now wed to a man entirely unknown to her. His thick blood, flowing from the partition of her hair, reminded her of her goals and hopes which now seemed to fade away. With every drop that fell, she felt the weight of the sudden, unwanted changes thrust upon her. She was now someone's wife-an idea she never once considered a "blessing."
With the recent loss of the only family member, her father, how will she deal with the other blow her destiny gave her? Will she be able to cope up with all the things, especially the thing she hates the most? And moreover, what will happen when she gets to know the person she married, is none other than the future king of one of the powerful kingdoms, Devgarh?
The prince, who is known for his cowardness and failure in the battles and wars, and is definitely considered "a curse" by his own father and "weak" by the world. In a world consumed by the pursuit of power and glory, he is the one who gave up on his most cherished possession-"his sword". What was the reason which made him lose his only companion? Was he really weak ? Is what people think and talk about him, true or there's something else behind his story?
What's written in their fate? Will they find the strength to stand by each other and overcome the obstacles before them? Or will their story end, even before it blossoms?
To know more, let's jump into the ocean of their lives and decode their secrets together.

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.

And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
