On her nineteenth birthday, Fae is forced into a marriage she never wanted, bound by vows forged in blood instead of love. At first, she sees Syon only as her captor, a man whose world destroyed the family she once had. But as she's drawn deeper into the Sterling empire, Fae discovers that beneath Syon's ruthless exterior lies a man scarred by violence, burdened by legacy, and starved of something real. What begins as a cold arrangement slowly grows into something neither expected. Fae's quiet strength awakens something human in Syon, while his fierce protection teaches her that power doesn't always have to be cruel.
