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

The cog ship carefully navigated through the narrow waters of the port, its crews expertly manoeuvring the vessel towards the dock.

As it drew closer, the sail was dropped, and the ship was oared towards its destination. Despite its medium size, the cog ship managed to find a spot at the quayside to dock.

As the vessel came to a halt, the crews quickly lowered the anchor and fastened the rope to the bitts, securing the ship in place.

Eric was the first to disembark, quickly navigating the bustling crowd of seamen and port workers.

From a distance, the knight could see carriages with the Gerhard coat of arms waiting for them. Alex and Drystan stood alongside a few other servants and coachmen, eagerly waiting to welcome the entourage to their destination.

Eric made his way towards the carriages. His heart filled with anticipation and excitement as he saw his fellow subordinates. The two knights greeted him warmly.
