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

The rising sun heralded a new day, but its light struggled to pierce the gloomy clouds that blanketed the sky. As winter's chill crept closer, the air grew colder.

Kyren and his men had finished diverting the primary water sources flowing from the peaks, rerouting them to a distant part of the island, far from the enemies' main camp.

"They will soon grow anxious and begin searching for water once they realise their supplies are dwindling. Have our men secure control over the area where the water now flows," Kyren commanded.

"Shall we set traps to subdue them?" Adam suggested.

"That could work, but be cautious. They may deploy the villagers to conduct the search. Arrest and subdue the soldiers only and avoid harming the civilians," Kyren replied. He then turned to Athillia, inquiring, "Do they have any mercenaries or pirates disguised as villagers?"
