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

"My Lords!" Drystan quickly bowed respectfully towards the three men before him. Though it had been some time since their last encounter, their faces were still familiar to him.

One of the men gestured for Drystan to raise his head. "I thought you might not recognise us," the eldest son remarked with a smile.

Drystan replied, "Why wouldn't I? We have met at Sir Navin's wedding and several occasions at the palace when I escorted His Highness."

"Yes, you have quite a good memory," the second son added.

"I don't believe you have met this person before," stated the third son, pointing towards the elderly man standing beside them.

Curiosity piqued, Drystan turned his gaze towards the old man, trying to recollect any previous encounters. However, he shook his head, unable to place where he had met the elderly gentleman before.
