Her journey begins with a dramatic turn of fate-a forced marriage to Hunter Stern, the brooding and controlling king of a kingdom on the brink of instability. The marriage is not born out of love but necessity, designed to stabilize the kingdom after the sudden departure of Hunter's previous intended, Isla.
