A cursed prince. A reluctant bride. A kingdom on the verge of war.
The kingdom of Kuronari is shrouded in mystery, its warriors feared, its rulers whispered about in hushed tones. And none are feared more than Prince Sasuke Uchiha, the last heir to a bloodline afflicted by Mugenya-an ancient curse that poisons his mind and threatens to unravel him completely.
There is only one way to break it: a marriage to a healer, a bond that could restore what has been lost.
But peace built on necessity is a delicate thing, and alliances woven from desperation tend to snap.
Princess Sakura Haruno of Hanari never asked to be tethered to an Uchiha. Raised in a kingdom of healers and scholars, she was meant for diplomacy, not war. But her father has promised her hand, her duty, her future, to a man who refuses to look at her as anything but an obligation.
Bound together under the guise of unity, Sakura steps into Kuronari, a kingdom of cold shadows and hidden daggers, where trust is a currency more valuable than gold. Here, danger is written into the walls, and Sasuke-haunted, distant, unraveling-is not the only one keeping secrets.
But war does not vanish simply because treaties are signed.
Fear festers. Suspicions grow. Lies take root. And when the betrayal finally comes, it will cost them everything.
