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 carriage jolted along the cobblestone path, its wooden wheels clattering against the uneven ground. As the afternoon sun streamed through the window, the carriage's interior was bathed in a warm glow. Anna gazed out the pane, watching the passing scenery of trees and houses.

It was a beautiful and unfamiliar surrounding, but the princess couldn't shake off the feeling of nervousness that consumed her as she contemplated the upcoming meeting with the king. Never before had she met someone of such high stature from another kingdom, and the thought of it made her stomach churn with anxiety.

Having mixed emotions, the princess reclined in her seat, her gaze fixed on Rafe, who sat across from her with Ayden. She had insisted that they share the carriage together, despite their initial reluctance, and now she turned to them with a question, hoping to ease her troubled mind.

"Rafe, can I ask you a question about His Majesty?"
