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

"You're all fools! He's lying! How can you bow to your enemy? You just met him for the first time and fell for his tricks!" King Ronan exclaimed, his voice dripping with contempt as he witnessed the actions of his soldiers.

The Ardelian Commander rose to his feet, turning to the king with a stern look.

"At least he saved me from being killed by you!" he yelled back. "You not only disrespected me as the commander, but you bullied my men, forced the civilians to become soldiers to boost the numbers, and threatened to kill our families! You said it yourself that you don't care if we die!"

A loud, unified shout of agreement rose from the crowd.

King Ronan's anger reached its peak.

"Kill them all!" he ordered his private guards.

"Forgive us, but it is impossible for our team to face such a huge number simultaneously," the chief of the private guards refused.
