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

"Grandfather, uncles, I don't think this will work! Sir Mills and I are way too different!" Sylvia voiced her concerns when her grandfather introduced the knight as a potential suitor for her.

She couldn't fathom how they had stumbled upon a candidate amidst the bustling festival at the plaza. To add to the astonishment, the man turned out to be none other than Drystan.

"How can you be so sure?" inquired her eldest uncle.

"It's too early to say that. You've only just met. Perhaps with time, through several meetings and getting to know each other, you'll discover common ground and develop feelings," suggested Sylvia's second uncle optimistically.

"That's right. I have already approved of this knight. He is perfect for you!" declared the Marquess confidently.

"He can't be! I know him!" Sylvia countered, her tone resolute.

"You know him?" questioned the Marquess's third son, curious.

Sylvia took a deep breath, preparing to explain.
