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

"Stay behind me," Callis said with a hint of concern as they approached the door to Kiev's chamber.

"But why?" Rafe questioned in confusion.

"It would be best. We don't know what could happen once he opens the door. He might pose a threat to you," the Mederian Princess explained.

The healer looked at his wife's worried expression. The memory of Kiev's aggressive behaviour from the previous day filled him with unease. However, being told to hide behind her wounded his pride as a man.

"I am your husband. I should take the lead," the healer insisted.

"I understand that, but please trust me on this for your safety. I'm not joking, and I'm speaking from experience," Callis warned, her tone serious.

"What do you mean? He can't be that dangerous, can he?" Rafe questioned, his doubt evident.

The Mederian Princess sighed, her mind drifting back to haunting memories of the past.
