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

"Leave us for now, Miss Canton. I need to speak to my sister," Kiev ordered Elis firmly.

"Yes, Your Highness," the maid replied, bowing respectfully.

After guiding Callis to a seat on the settee, she quietly closed the door behind her, granting the siblings a moment of privacy.

Kiev's eyes filled with concern as he gently held his sister's trembling hands in his own.

"Are you all right?" he asked with worry.

"I think I would feel much better if you could heal my shoulder," she admitted, her eyes pleading.

Determined to ease his sister's pain, Kiev nodded resolutely.

"All right. I'll do it now. Please reveal it so I can mend the fractured part," he said confidently.

Callis unbuttoned her clothes with a slow and careful motion, exposing her injured right shoulder. Kiev placed his palm gently upon it, expecting the familiar surge of healing enchantment to flow through him.
