It was supposed to be a Happily Ever After, it was a happily ever after...
But it's all coming to an end.
When Alpheus escapes the dungeons, it's up to the new King of Lysandra, Vincenzo St Andres Octavius, to protect his family and his kingdom from his grandfather but the last thing anyone expected was for him to accidentally wake up a sleeping mage from her slumber, better yet the mage that helped create the Kingdom he ruled. 
Her story is questionable, her beauty is enticing but her power may be something that will save them all. Now, the two of them work together to save his Kingdom under a contract but when feelings start to emerge, there's more at stake than just the Kingdom.
