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

Anna sat in the moving carriage, her nervousness evident in her fidgeting movements as time went by. Beside her, Kyren providing a reassuring presence, accompanied her on the momentous journey.

The carriage, adorned with the distinguished coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Gerhard, rolled it tyres, setting the procession in motion as they made their way towards the palace.

Drystan and Alex led the way at the forefront of the procession, their presence commanding and dignified, followed closely by Rafe. The skilled driver navigated the path carefully, ensuring a smooth and safe departure.

As the carriage progressed along the road, a crowd had gathered by the sides, eagerly anticipating a glimpse of the royal entourage. However, their view was obstructed by the drawn curtains, leaving them longing for a glimpse of the momentous occasion unfolding before them.
