When the last heir of Ardel lost everything, fate would bring her to her rightful protector.

Anna Adhemar, the forgotten princess, found herself betrayed by the Regent. Hunted by the Bargesians and the ruthless slave traders, she desperately fled for her life. 

Rescued by a mysterious man, her newfound safety was short-lived as she succumbed to a potent aphrodisiac. Then, she awoke in the arms of the fearsome Knight Commander of Gerhard, stripped bare, in a foreign kingdom. 

Fear, confusion, and a sense of profound devastation enveloped her. 

But the man before her declared, "I am your husband. I married you last night."

Then, with unwavering determination, he vowed, " You're my woman now. No one can hurt my woman."
---
Kyren Raychard, the Crown Prince who had chosen to forsake the throne and became celibate, led the Knights of Gerhard to safeguard his kingdom’s border from slave trading activities.

Outside his camp, he found Anna poisoned and delirious. The healer informed him of the only cure, of which he must race against time to give and honour her. 

For the first time, he felt an overwhelming instinct to protect and claim her as his own. 

Unaware of his deepening affection, he belatedly realised his feelings as he stood on the brink of losing her.

Bound by a soul-binding spell, their fates intertwined…

The Grand Duke's Soulmate

Both knights did not argue with him. Everyone was being careful, like walking on eggshells.

Anna's bad health caused them to worry about her.

It was undeniable that the princess, who seemed timid and obtuse, was the opposite and had a heart made of gold. What she did was courageous and an act full of compassion and wisdom.

Eric and Eli returned to the campfire, joining Luke and Damon, who waited there. In a short while, Rafe rushed from the infirmary and went to the commander's tent.

The knights anticipated that the healer would stay there for quite some time, treating the lady. Their faces were solemn as they thought about her. They waited for Rafe to come out to know the outcome, but the tent flap remained closed.

"I hope Lady Raychard will be fine," Eli uttered with a concerned face.

"We all hope the same," Luke responded.
