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…

Her mind drifted, haunted by the dreadful memories that had plagued her since that fateful day. Her life had become an abyss of unending suffering, devoid of any glimpse of joy.

Abuse, sorrow, fear, and shame had become her constant companions, overshadowing any semblance of a normal existence. Every day was a battle for survival, a cruel reminder of the life she was trapped in as a slave.

But then, an unexpected ray of hope pierced through the darkness. The Knights of Gerhard arrived with their commander, like a divine intervention she had never dared to dream of. It was as if a miracle had descended from the heavens.
